> Date: November 3, 2011
>
> A Three-Day International Conference concerned with Romanesque,
> Byzantium and Islam. There is also an opportunity to stay on for two
> days of visits to medieval sites in and around Palermo from 19-20 April.
>
> The British Archaeological Association is organising the second in a
> biennial series of international conferences concerned with Romanesque
> art and architecture. This conference, Romanesque and the
> Mediterranean, aims to examine points of contact between the Latin
> West and the Byzantine and Islamic worlds in the 11th and 12th
> centuries. This took many forms, from the widespread importation of
> artefacts - textiles, ceramics, ivories and metalwork for the most
> part - to a specific desire to recruit eastern artists or emulate
> eastern Mediterranean forms and buildings, particularly those in
> Jerusalem. Crusading themes are important, as are commercial and
> artistic contacts with the southern Mediterranean, and the conference
> includes papers on interactions between Islamic and Christian cultures
> in Spain and North Africa, as well as in the eastern Mediterranean.
