Invite you to attend the following lecture
The Red and White Monastery Projects, 2000 – 2009:
Conservation, Archaeology and Interpretation
The monumental Late Antique churches at the Red and White Monasteries in Sohag (Middle Egypt), and their surrounding archaeological remains, are of exceptional importance for our understanding of the development and character of Christian monasticism. Multi-disciplinary work by a large team, in collaboration with the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), and with support and hospitality from the Coptic Church, have been underway since 2000. This talk will present an overview of the projects, and their significance. A major part of the talk will be on the USAID-ARCE funded wall painting conservation project at the Red Monastery church.
