Shakespeare and Islam Islam Awareness Week 2004: Your Muslim Neighbour
28/12/2004
This
year’s Islam Awareness Week took place November 22–28 with lectures and
activities all over Great Britain. The theme of the week was Your Muslim Neighbour, celebrating contributions by
British Muslims to everyday British society.
Cooperation
with the London Globe Theatre, the reconstructed Shakespearean theatre and
museum, guaranteed an interesting cultural program in an inspiring setting with
a strong emphasis on building cultural bridges.
In
our coverage we chose to focus on the Globe location and the Shakespeare
connection, considering the power of great artistic symbols as a cultural
meeting point and a reservoir of multiple interpretations.
