Ancient Nubia in the 21st Century

  • University of Toronto Faculty Club 41 Willcocks Street Toronto, ON, M5S 3G3 Canada (map)

Join us for a lecture by Dr. Rita Freed of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston on “Ancient Nubia in the 21st Century”

Enduring over 7,000 years, Nubian empires produced more pyramids than Egypt, colossal statues of kings, exquisite gold jewelry and some of the world’s most sophisticated ceramics. Yet few people have heard of it, and fewer still can recognize its many monuments. This lecture will present an overview of Ancient Nubia, discuss its current resonance and suggest how knowledge of this ancient culture can serve as a source of empowerment today.

This event is held in partnership with the Sudanese Community Association of Ontario.

Location: TBD (This lecture will be held in person, so please stayed tuned for more details!)
