Join Jameel Library for a special event as part of the public programmes for Jameel Library Circles on November 16, 2023, at 11:00am.

Azza Aboualam presents her Library Circles display on the mosques of New York and Sharjah and the methods of research. The presentation concludes with a participatory workshop in which participants are encouraged to bring images, videos, plans, or other materials related to a building designed for public use. During the workshop, participants will engage with Aboualam and each other in discussing aspects such as materials, community involvement, and site considerations, along with the modifications made to the building.

The one-hour session is open to the public and invites everyone to actively participate. Please arrive at the Library 15 minutes prior and check-in at the library desk.
