[Commlist] 1st Terra (in) Cognita conference

Tue Apr 19 15:15:19 GMT 2022



Hellenic American University announces the 1st Terra (in) Cognita International Conference which will take place in Athens, Greece, November 10-13, 2022. The theme of this year’s Conference is Dialogues between Greek Culture and Modern American Art.

The 1st Terra (in) Cognita International Conference promotes the research of cross-cultural exchange and communication between modern American art and all aspects of Greek Culture, such as myth, ancient tragedy, Byzantine art and architecture, and symbolism. These subjects created an inspirational source in visual, performing, expressive arts, and literature for the development of Modern American Art in the 20th century and were embraced by American, Greek American, and Greek artists who incorporated this intriguing cultural dialogue in their work. The links between Greek cultural elements and modern American Art expand beyond the conventions of artistic production and unfold parameters of sociological influences and historical interconnections. Migration, national identity, and historical events shaped Modern American Art and became a key element in the development of new artistic movements.
