1 answer:

The Harlem Renaissance was a period of rich cross-disciplinary artistic and cultural activity among African Americans between the end of World War I (1917) and the onset of the Great Depression and lead up to World War II (the 1930s). Artists associated with the movement asserted pride in black life and identity, a rising consciousness of inequality and discrimination, and interest in the rapidly changing modern world—many experiencing a freedom of expression through the arts for the first time.

While the Harlem Renaissance may be best known for its literary and performing arts—pioneering figures such as Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Duke Ellington, and Ma Rainey may be familiar—sculptors, painters, and printmakers were key contributors to the first modern Afrocentric cultural movement and formed a black avant-garde in the visual arts.

Answer:

It was the largest city during the Spanish Empire, the largest city in Hispania also during the last part of the Roman period. Seville had the monopoly in colonial trade during the Habsburg dynasty along with Cádiz, it was the headquarters of the Casa de Contratación which controlled Atlantic trade and the exploration of the Americas for centuries. Now the Casa de Contratación has become the archives of the Americas, the place where all the documents of the Spanish colonial empire are stored (maps, letters decrees, contacts…). All the history of the Spanish colonies is stored in the building of the former Casa de Contratación. Seville is also the place where Colombus’ remains are, his tomb is in Seville's Cathedral.

Right outside Seville in the town of Santiponce there are ruins from the Roman city of Italica. The amphitheatre of that town is where the Game of Thrones craddle of the dragons outside King's Landing is set. The place where Cersei meets with Daenerys or where they choose Bran as king. That town is also the birthplace and home of two Hispanic emperors, emperor Trajan and emperor Hadrian were born and grew up in that town.

Seville was one of the largest cities of the Muslim period as well and it has plenty of Moorish architecture like the Giralda Tower or the Gold Tower (where the gold in the city was stored), or the Alcázar (Seville's Moorish palace that was expanded by Castile during the Renaissance). The Alcázar of Seville is actually also another Game of Thrones setting, it is the setting of the Water Gardens of Dorne.
