[Commlist] 1st Terra (in) Cognita conference

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.

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.

The conference aspires to constitute a research opportunity and 
crossroad where the different backgrounds and artistic approaches will 
be examined under a unified framework of contemporary aesthetics and 
cultural discourse.
