# **The Making of a Global Icon: Nefertiti's Modern Career**

[Organized by**AUA College of Humanities and Social Sciences**](https://hrdrone.am/events/aua-college-of-humanities-and-social-sciences)

## **About this event**

Step into the fascinating global journey of one of history’s most recognizable faces. The Turpanjian Institute of Social Sciences at the American University of Armenia, in collaboration with the Max Weber Stiftung Georgia Branch Office, invites you to a lecture by Professor Sebastian Conrad on his recent book, The Making of a Global Icon: Nefertiti’s Modern Career. From her discovery in 1912 to her transformation into a global symbol of beauty, Nefertiti’s image has traveled across continents and cultures. This lecture explores how the ancient Egyptian queen became a modern icon — shaping conversations on beauty, cultural ownership, modernity, and globalization from the era of imperialism to today. The lecture is part of the MWF Global History Series and is jointly organized by the Turpanjian Institute of Social Sciences at AUA and the Max Weber Stiftung Georgia Branch Office in cooperation with Zeit Stiftung Bucerius. A reception will follow the lecture. We look forward to welcoming you.
