The Ashmolean Museum, Empires of Faith, and TORCH co-hosted this public event on 'Imagining the Divine: Art and the Rise of World Religions' with Professor Mary Beard (University of Cambridge) and Neil MacGregor (Humboldt Forum). This event was chaired by Dr Mallica Kumbera Landrus (Keeper of Eastern Art, Ashmolean Museum).
Imagining the Divine: Art and the Rise of World Religions discussed how contemporary religions developed during the transition between the ancient and medieval worlds across Eurasia and Africa, and what relevance this has today.
