Photoessay: Aberdeen, IOSOT 2019

Words and images by Tavis Bohlinger. Shot on Hasselblad.

Aberdeen University was the proud host of this year’s International Organization for the Study of the Old Testament (IOSOT). The 23rd congress of this event was held August 4-9, 2019 in Scotland’s famous “Granite City,” so named for the granite used to construct many of the buildings in this old and stoic metropolis. In the photoessay below, I’ve attempted to bring the experience of IOSOT 2019 to you, the reader, by capturing key moments from the event and iconic images from the city.


The venue for the opening plenary and morning sessions was Aberdeen’s newly renovated and refurbished Music Hall.
