Lecture and fundraiser for Friends of Hadhramaut

About this event

Friends of Hadramaut (FOH) in the Netherlands host a lecture by Dr Holly O'Farrell, Leiden University, about the travels and legacy of Mabel and Theodore Bent

Mabel and Theodore Bent travelled through Europe, Arabia and parts of Africa establishing Theodore as a published writer on a wide variety of ancient civilisations and a collector for numerous museums. While Mabel had travelled alongside him, had taken part in digs, and had been instrumental in taking the notes that Theodore would depend on to write his books, little has been done to highlight her involvement and agency in their adventures. This presentation will look at the unprecedented journey of the Bents through the Hadhramaut region using Mabel Bent's travel chronicles and collections to understand this couple and their relationship as travellers, archaeologists and collectors.

Join us to watch a livestream of the lecture. Once you have bought your ticket, you will receive a webinar link the day before the event. All funds raised go towards FOH's educational, medical and community projects in Hadhramaut. See the FOH website www.hadhramaut.co.uk for more about their work.

Also an in-person event! Locals and those willing to travel can come in person to Leiden University, Plexus Building, Kaiserstraat 25, 2311 GN Leiden, The Netherlands (€15 tickets for purchase at the door).
