This hybrid event is available to attend in-person and online. Matthew Teller's highly original 'biography' of Jerusalem delves into the stories of the Old City's communities. He unearths the tales of Indian and African populations that have found home in the Holy city and traces the lineage of the Greek, Armenian, and Syriac cultures that are ever present in the city. Through a lens of the political present, unraveling the Palestinian and Jewish realities, he connects the ancient past and looks beyond what the media often focuses on.
