The Salón Mudéjar in Jaén hosted the second session of the 'Jaén of the Three Cultures' cultural cycle, an initiative aimed at highlighting the rich historical heritage of the province. The activity, titled 'Light, Geometry, and the Muslim Legacy', brought together eighteen individuals interested in the plastic and symbolic aspects of Islamic art.

The event, organized in collaboration with the Civitas Lucis Association and Iuventa, included a practical workshop where attendees reproduced Andalusian tiles. This experience allowed participants to connect with an artistic expression that, despite being present in numerous locations in Jaén, such as the Arco de San Lorenzo, often goes unnoticed by the general public.

The session was led by a professor and graduate in Visual Arts and a doctor in Interuniversity Heritage, who provided a historical introduction to help attendees understand the Muslim legacy and its symbolism. During the workshop, the role of the alarifes, anonymous artisans whose work was fundamental to the region's artistic heritage, was emphasized, as evidenced by the commission from the Catholic Monarchs to ceramists from Arjona to restore the ceramics of the Alhambra.

This initiative is supported by the Network of Jewish Quarters 'Caminos de Sefarad', underscoring the city's commitment to preserving and disseminating its medieval heritage. The cycle will conclude on April 25 with a third session dedicated to Christian Jaén, under the title 'Iconography and the consolidation of the kingdom'.
