Location: UCL Art Museum, Main Building, South Cloisters
Come and learn more about Aramaic, the lingua franca of the Ancient Near East, which has existed for thousands of years. It has left a lasting imprint on the world through archaeological material, religious writings (including certain biblical texts), prayers and some surviving spoken dialects.
Join us for a brief exploration of this fascinating language with Hannah Raymond, a doctoral researcher at UCL focusing on women's literacy in the Ancient Near East.
The event is part of a series connected to the showcase Not Just Words: Learning Languages Through Art and Objects.
