Ramadan Mubarak to all our Muslim fans and friends! May you all have a month of peace and joy! Today, we're finally talking about Spain. But, more importantly, we're talking about the Royal Alcazar Palace and Gardens and the legacy of 700 years of Islamic art on Spanish culture with an article discussion. This World Heritage Site, palace of Spain’s royal family, and done in the Mudéjar architectural style, will play the backdrop of today’s episode. So, sit back. We’ll enjoy the soft splashing of fountains, as we sit in the cool shade of the patio, and get ready for our article discussions of Hispano-Arab gardens. Our two articles for today: The Hispano-Arab Garden: Its Philosophy and Function by James Dickie (1968) and Primero Huerto: Iconography, Anamorphism, and the Idea of the Garden in Sixteenth-Century Spanish Mysticism by María M. Carrión (2012). Join us as we make a ton of Game of Thrones references, wax poetically about flowers, get defensive of scholarly literature written in the 15th century, and contemplate the legacy of Islam on the Spanish diaspora.

Honestly, this is probably one of the best documentaries either of us have ever watched and it's worth watching many times. Built around the legacy of David Driskell (renowned professor, artist, and curator) and his revolutionary exhibition Two Centuries of Black American Art (1976) this HBO documentary opens audiences to the beauty and reality of what it means to be a Black American Artist. Join us as we define a Black Aesthetic, contemplate the power of collecting as advocacy, confronting Otherness & Fear in art, and bemoan the absolute lack of Black-centric exhibitions created by black curators.
