Please join us for an illustrated lecture by historian Ursula Weekes on the importance of the monument's embodiment as a symbol of family glory and of the empire itself.

Ursula Weekes is an independent art historian based in London, specialising in Mughal and Rajput art and culture.

The Mute Eloquence of the Taj Mahal, curated by historian Rana Safvi, positions the Taj itself as a ‘speaking’—though ironically silent—agent through a comprehensive visual narrative, with works spanning from the late eighteenth to the mid-twentieth century.
