Jewish Visual Culture in the Balkans

This lecture will present the traces of Jewish visual culture in the
Balkans from antiquity to modern times. Jewish culture and, in
particular, its visual culture is a significant element which shaped the
Balkans as the place of connection and cultural transfer of the three
Abrahamic religions. The monuments considered will range from the
antique monuments of Stobi and Plovdiv, through Shabbatean

funerary monuments in Ulcinj and Niš

to synagogal art in Serbia and
Bulgaria from the 19th and 20th
century.
