Convidado / Invited speaker:
Patricia Blessing [Princeton University]
Patricia Blessing is Assistant Professor of Islamic Art History in the Department of Art & Archaeology at Princeton University. Blessing is the author of Rebuilding Anatolia after the Mongol Conquest: Islamic Architecture in the Lands of Rūm, 1240–1330 (Ashgate, 2014) and Architecture and Material Politics in the Fifteenth-century Ottoman Empire (Cambridge University Press, 2022). Blessing’s current project, Spaces of Artifice: Objects and Interior Design in Anatolia, c. 1200-1500 addresses the relationship between objects, design, and interior spaces in the Islamic architecture of Anatolia, from the late twelfth to the late fifteenth centuries. Larger issues to be addressed in the resulting book are those of interior design and planning; multi-sensory perception of space of objects. Blessing’s work has been supported by the British Academy, the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, the International Center of Medieval Art, the Society of Architectural Historians, the Barakat Trust, the Gerda Henkel Foundation, and ANAMED Research Center for Anatolian Cultures.
