Europe and the Arab World are two sides of the same sea: the Mediterranean.
The experiences of the peoples along its shores are similar, but their interpretations and approaches are often very different.
Pope Francis has developed a theology of the Mediterranean based on brotherhood among the children of Abraham and post-believers, identifying this borderland as a hinge between three continents and faiths, inviting an ecumenical perspective rather than an identity-based one.
On the other shore, meanwhile, Islamic feminist movements are emerging in contrast to secular Western ones, presenting an idea of gender equality that seeks to preserve tradition.
The dialogue between Sara Hejazi and Riccardo Cristiano will explore these themes, intertwining history, theology, and anthropology.
The meeting is moderated by Katia Malatesta.
