About this event

Designed to enhance the current exhibition at the Chester Beatty, the in-person academic conference Seeing Isfahan, Perspectives on the Safavid Image will examine an illuminating cross-section of visual and intellectual culture in Isfahan. A programme of twelve speakers will present new research that asks how Safavid identity was visualised in early modern Iran.

This conference is presented by Dr Moya Carey (Chester Beatty) and Dr Anna McSweeney (TCD). Organised by the Chester Beatty and Trinity Long Room Hub Arts & Humanities Research Institute. Held in association with the Chester Beatty exhibition Meeting in Isfahan: Vision and Exchange in Safavid Iran
