Territorio Mudéjar participates in the 16th International Symposium on Mudejarism in Teruel

Territorio Mudéjar is participating in the 16th International Symposium on Mudejarism, taking place in Teruel from October 17 to 19. More than 40 experts and researchers will meet to discuss the theme of this event: “Mudejar and Moorish Landscapes: Territories and Identities.”

The objective is to study how the different Mudejar and Moorish communities in Spain developed depending on the space in which they were located, creating more or less differentiated societies, with diverse border relations and specific political and patronage situations despite their shared cultural characteristics.

The director of Territorio Mudéjar, Victoria Trasobares, will present the exhibition of the 2019-2024 research stay and artist residency projects this Thursday at 5:30 p.m. Mudejar Architecture of Aragon. A research space open to the future. As you can see in the images, everything is already ready in the courtyard of the Museum of Sacred Art in Teruel.

This exhibition will be open until the 30th:
Thursday and Friday: 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Saturday: 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Additionally, on Friday at 6:00 p.m., Mar Valls Fusté, a researcher with the Territorio Mudéjar network of artist residencies and stays, will participate. Her presentation is titled “Towards a corpus of Arabic inscriptions in the Kingdom of Aragon (13th-15th centuries): premises, methodology, and results of a research project.” This project was one of those selected in the latest 2023-2024 call for “Research stays and projects. Gonzalo M. Borras Gualis.”

International Symposium on Mudejarism in Teruel

    Eighty international experts addressed the importance of Mudejarism at the 15th International Symposium on Mudejarism, a meeting with a record number of papers, 45, and which paid tribute to Gonzalo M. Borrás Gualis, a fundamental promoter for the recognition of Mudejarism as World Heritage and one of the great scholars and disseminators of this cultural legacy.

Borrás Gualis” (Territorio Mudéjar, keys to the creation of a strategic model for the management of World Heritage in rural areas: the consequences of the legacy of Professor Gonzalo M. Borrás Gualis).

    In addition, together with Irene Ruiz Bazán, from the Polytechnic of Torino (Italy) and researcher of the past editions of the Territorio Mudéjar stays, she gave the presentation “El análisis de significancia como base para la realización de un plan de Conservación Preventiva.
