"Discovering Islamic Geometric Design" Lecture by Eric Bourg

Geometric design is one of the most recognizable aspects of Islamic visual culture. In a lecture titled “Discovering Islamic Geometric Design,” Eric Broug, artist, author, and founder of London’s School of Islamic Geometric Design, will explore the enormous richness of this design heritage and provide a deeper understanding of how these patterns were created and how we can do more than just recognize them. This lecture and workshops are made possible by the Ismaili Council for the Southeastern USA, the social governing body of the Ismaili community in the southeastern region, who are committed to supporting educational outreach initiatives that raise awareness and understanding of Islam and the historical contributions of Muslims to society.
