Den polsk-danske kunstmaler Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann rejste i årene 1869-75 til Konstantinopel og Kairo. Som mange andre af datidens malere var hun tiltrukket af Orientens mystik og eksotisme, men hun mødte i stedet et Osmannerrige midt i en brydningstid mellem et traditionelt og et mere moderne samfund.Baumann fandt en del kunder til sine portrætter af mennesker fra alle dele af det osmanniske samfund, og i sin jagt efter motiver besøgte hun blandt andet en række haremmer, hvor hun oplevede et på mange måder frit liv inden for murene. I et af disse haremmer traf Baumann den unge tyrkisk-osmanniske prinsesse Nazili, som gjorde et stort indtryk på hende. Prinsessen var allerede som purung aktiv forkæmper for kvinders rettigheder og blev en af de førende kvindesagsforkæmpere og antikolonialister i det 19. århundredes Mellemøsten.Baumann nedfældede sine betragtninger om mødet med prinsessen og om sex, ægteskab og kvinders og børns rettigheder i et par rejseberetninger. På den baggrund kan Kunstmaleren og prinsessen genoplive de to kvinders unikke forhold og derigennem give indblik i en periode, hvor kvinder både i Europa og i Osmannerriget fik øget mulighed for at præge deres eget liv og deltage i det offentlige rum.

Brian Blomerth first fused his singularly irreverent underground comix style with heavily-researched history in 2019¿s Brian Blomerth¿s Bicycle Day, a Technicolor retelling of the discovery of LSD. Now, the illustrator and graphic novelist continues his wild and woolly excursions into the history of mind expansion with Mycelium Wassonii, an account of the lives and trips of R. Gordon and Valentina Wasson, the pioneering scientist couple responsible for popularizing the use of psychedelic mushrooms. A globetrotting vision of hallucinatory science and religious mysticism with appearances by Life Magazine, the CIA, and the Buddha, Mycelium Wassonii is a visual history and a love story as only Blomerth¿s Isograph pen can render it.

Vor Frue Kirke i København fremstår som et samlet værk tegnet af arkitekten C.F. Hansen og med udsmykning af billedhuggeren Bertel Thorvaldsen. Bygningens stramme, antik-inspirerede former taler samme sprog som de monumentale, hvide marmorstatuer og -relieffer, og Kristus-statuen i apsis over alteret har i snart 200 år har haft hovedrollen – både i kirkerummet og i kirkens liturgi.I KRISTUS. Thorvaldsens statue i Vor Frue Kirke bliver der sat fokus på begge dimensioner, det æstetiske og det liturgiske. Ud fra en tværfaglig tilgang analyserer og fortolker kunsthistorikeren Margrethe Floryan Kristus-statuen, dens fremtræden og betydning i samspillet med de øvrige knap 30 Thorvaldsen-skulpturer i Vor Frue Kirke og i forhold til kirkerummet som ramme om gudstjenesten.Bogen handler også om Vor Frue Kirkes tilblivelse, om Thorvaldsens forudsætninger og inspirationskilder og om hans andre kirkeværker. Med afsæt i Grundtvigs teologi og nugældende ritualpraksis argumenterer Margrethe Floryan for en æstetisk-liturgisk nytolkning af Thorvaldsens Kristus-statue.KRISTUS. Thorvaldsens statue i Vor Frue Kirke er den første større bogudgivelse om Thorvaldsen som kirkekunstner.
