Hassan Lecture: An Evening with Ayeda Husain
The annual Hanny & Najet Hassan Lecture in the Faculty of Arts & Humanities
What happens to a history when the origins of an idea are rewritten or erased?
The Hassan lecture will be presented by Ayeda Husain, senior teacher, Murshida and National Representative for the Inayatiyya, a global organization dedicated to Universal Sufism as taught by Hazrat Inayat Khan.
The talk explores how tarot's Eastern influences were obscured as tarot moved into Renaissance Europe, and how recovering this history led to the creation of The Sufi Tarot, an international bestseller translated into eight languages. It offers a compelling exploration of tarot, Sufism, cultural exchange and the complex movement of ideas between the East and the West.
