SUMMARY:The OLLI Distinguished Speakers Series presents Architecture\, Environmentalism & Islam: The Djenne Mosque
DESCRIPTION:The OLLI Distinguished Speakers Series presents\nWilliams College Professor Michelle Apotsos on \nArchitecture\, Environmentalism & Islam: The Djenne Mosque \nTuesday\, December 14\, 7 pm\nOnline via Zoom  \nAs one of the tallest freestanding earthen structures in the world\, the legendary Djenne Mosque\, located in Mali\, West Africa\, has long functioned as a symbol of cultural identity in the area of the Niger Bend\, as well as a touchstone of the primary regional religion\, Islam. \nYet the current climate crisis and resultant discussions about the importance of sustainable systems and green solutions – particularly with regards to architecture – compels a reconsideration of this mosque through a new lens: that of environmentalism and sustainability. Thus\, this talk explores how ancient architectures such as the Djenne mosque\, which has existed in one iteration or another for over 700 hundred years\, may have lessons to teach us about contemporary and even future-facing sustainable architectural solutions. \nIn rethinking the Djenne mosque through the lenses of both faith and environmentalism\, one sees how Islam and sustainable architecture exist within the mosque as a collaborative system\, providing potential lessons for humanity to consider as we plan for an increasingly uncertain future. \nMichelle Apotsos is an Associate Professor of Art History at Williams College\, where she teaches courses about Africa\, Islam\, and the built environment. She  is the author of Architecture\, Islam\, and Identity in West Africa: Lessons from Larabanga (Routledge\, 2016) and The Masjid in Contemporary Islamic Africa (Cambridge University Press\, 2021). She has published in journals including African Arts\, the International Journal of Islamic Architecture\, and Material Culture Review. \nAdmission is $10 for OLLI at BCC and Berkshire Museum members\, and $15 for the general public.  Admission is free for Berkshire Community College students\, youth 17 and under\, and those holding WIC\, EBT/SNAP\, or ConnectorCare cards. \nPre-registration is required. Click here to register safely and securely online or call 413.236.2190 (M-F 9am-4pm) to register by phone with a credit card. \nPresented in Partnership with the Berkshire Museum.
