The Anglo-Ethiopian Society is holding a one-day conference on Saturday 18 September to present some recent Ethiopian research papers:
Anne Parsons will report on the contemporary use of natural resources by painters in the Aksum area.
Dorothea McEwan will evaluate Georg Wilhelm Schimper’s botanical, topographical and mineralogical research papers of Tigre which are located in the British Library.
Jacke Phillips will present an initial typology of mediaeval Ethiopian ceramic and other vessels, as represented in paintings and other sources.
Unfortunately Jacke Phillips is no longer able to attend so Tania Tribe will now be presenting this paper.
Helen Papworth will give a brief history of illustrated children’s literature for Ethiopian children.
Tania Tribe will describe Kingship building and narrative strategies in Ethiopian art.
A full timetable and abstracts of all the presentations can be downloaded as a pdf file: Conference_Programme.pdf.
Tea and coffee will be provided, but participants will need to make their own lunch arrangements.
A fee of £10 will be charged for attending the conference. Please book by Thursday 9 September so that we can organise the refreshments.
