On view October 1 -- December 11, 2025This exhibition draws on archival materials from the Aga Khan Documentation Center at MIT (AKDC) to explore a century of cultural heritage preservation in Aleppo, Syria. It takes as its point of departure the work of Kamil al-Ghazzi (1853–1933), the pioneering Aleppine historian whose influential three-volume chronicle, Nahr al-Dhahab fī Tārīkh Ḥalab (The River of Gold in the History of Aleppo), was published between 1924 and 1926.Ink, Stone, and Silver Light presents three modes of documentation—manuscript, built form, and photography—through which Aleppo’s urban memory has been recorded and preserved. Featuring figures such as Michel Écochard and Yasser Tabbaa alongside al-Ghazzi, the exhibition traces overlapping efforts to capture the spirit of a city shaped by commerce, craft, and coexistence. At a time when Syria again confronts upheaval and displacement, these archival fragments offer models for preserving the past while envisioning futures rooted in dignity, knowledge, and place.

Prepare to be amazed. This fall, our undergraduate researchers have been hard at work: asking questions, designing research experiments, and gathering data. Join us at the SuperUROP Showcase to see what these imaginative students have accomplished so far. Hosted by MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, this event will offer refreshments and the opportunity to tour the poster session and network with these emerging researchers. Mark your calendar to join us and please forward this invitation to any interested co-workers; we’re looking forward to seeing you.Register Here
