On the second day, the symposium will feature a session titled ‘Moriscos, artistic and literary heritage’ led by Dr. Ahmed El Mansouri of the University of the UAE. Dr. Ines
Sahabou, Higher Institute of Tunisia, will examine the topic ‘Mauritians and literary art’, while Dr. Luis Bernabé Nunes, Alicante University of Spain, will discuss ‘The fate
of the Mauritians and the memory of the Spaniens’. Meanwhile, Dr. Maria Teresa Narvaez, University of Puerto Rico, will analyze ‘Khamidi literature as a means of
preserving heritage and the armour of hippocampus Andalusians’, and Dr. Rafael López Guzmán will talk about the ‘Influence of Andalusian Moriski art on the American
continent’.
The ‘Andalusia: History and Civilisation’ initiative aims to deepen the knowledge about Andalusian civilisation through its diverse artistic and cultural events as well as to
publicise the legacy of this unique civilisation and its profound impact on the European and global stages, particularly in the realms of art, intellect, science, and
architecture. This initiative also seeks to highlight Andalusia's cultural advancements and its commendable role as a model of coexistence, tolerance, and societal
progress. Through this initiative, the UAE endeavours to underscore the shared human connections and values across civilisations, while commemorating the Arab
civilisation’s luminous chapter in Andalusia as a testament to cultural convergence and historical brilliance.
