The Visual in Sufism and Islamicated Urban Architecture

VISIONIS seeks to study the importance of mystical and visual experiences in Early Islam both by studying Qur’anic and Early Islamic texts and material objects as well as by zooming out on later times and different communities for comparisons. In our tour to Acre we visited the Shadhuliyya Yashrutiyya Sufi order and had a look at a variety of other different visual expressions of Islamic belief and practices in the urban setting, both old and contemporary.
