HistFest 2025 poster
Good luck to everyone running the marathon today! If you’re not running, come and join us at #HistFest2025 histfest.org/histfest-2025/
Three women speakers, seated, in front of a bright yellow banner on a pink background. The title on the banner: Ancient Mesopotamia with Dr. Moudhy Al-Rachid, Dr Selena Wisnom and Shaparak Khorsandi. Logo top right: British Library. Logo bottom left, on a trapezoid pink square: HistFest.
Three speakers seated at centre of podium; on the left is a standing speaker at a table. A screen in the background shows the pink and blue event poster for HistFest, with the triangular bottom half made up of headshots of the speakers. The overall photo effect is somewhat disco-like: pink uplighting and a dark stage.
Two books: On the left, BETWEEN TWO RIVERS by Moudhy Al Rashid: a deep blue book covered in deep gold ribbon design and deep blue writing. On the right, THE LIBRARY OF ANCIENT WISDOM by Selena Wisnom: a cream-coloured book with a clay-pink detail from an Assyrian low relief sculpture showing a hand grasping a man-bag covered in cuneiform script; a black and white 'signed by the author' sticker is in the top right-hand corner.
An electrifying session on Ancient Mesopotamia: @moudhy.bsky.social and @lswisnom.bsky.social talking about their new books with Shaparak Khorsandi. #HistFest2025 #Booksky #Skystorians #ancient
