Event: LET ME TELL YOU… / ΝΑ ΣΟΥ ΠΩ… an exhibition by Karin Eremia

24 Μαΐου, 2023
“The works span between 2020 – 2023 and while slightly different in technique or approach, they are all unified by a few common threads, such as my own habits of daily observation in the city and of course my love of printing. For the history-lovers amongst you, there will be some cheeky winks towards Greek history and archeology. Some rougher and unfinished pieces will be showed alongside more finished works, all referencing places, texts, or experiences that have stayed with me.”

Finnish Institute at Athens – Ateenan-instituutti

Finnish Institute at Athens – Ateenan-instituutti
Professor Emerita Lilian Karali of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens gives a lecture on the topic: "Contribution of Archaeomalacological Research to Aegean Archaeology". Her lecture delves into the interpretation of molluscs found in archaeological contexts. The lecture is the 14th in the Finnish Institute's lecture series in honor of Johannes Sundwall. Johannes Sundwall (1877-1966) was a Finnish scholar of antiquity, docent at the University of Helsinki since 1907 and professor at Åbo Akademi from 1921 to 1945. He had numerous connections especially with the world of German and Italian classical studies, and in 1937 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Athens. Sundwall studied, among other things, the prosopography and social history of Attica, Greek and Latin literature, Linear B writing, and Italian prehistory.
Dr Frederick Whitling gives a lecture on the topic: "'Greek Genius in Roman Body'. Johannes Sundwall, 'the Grand Old Man of Classical Research in Finland', and 'the Great Minoan Riddle'". The subject of the 13th Johannes Sundwall lecture is the man himself, and his role in the history of the scholarship of his time.

The director of the Finnish Institute at Athens, Petra Pakkanen gives a talk "Philhellenism, ´Friendship with the Greeks´and Nationalistic Ideology of Freedom" in the "Beyond Populism" series organized by the Finnish Cultural and Academic Institutes. Pakkanen talks about philhellenism as a phenomenon that was used in several European countries to build national identity, especially in the 19th century. This was also the case in Finland, where the Greek freedom struggle was equated with the country's own project of national awakening and the general idea of the nation's freedom. Philhellenism is a phenomenon that can also be seen in today's political rhetoric. In our own time, there is reason to ask whether the content of philhellenism has changed and how it manifests itself today, when the nation-state way of thinking can slip into nationalism and thus end up being used in a populist way. These questions are answered by historian George Kalpadakis, a member of the Academy of Athens, whom Pakkanen interviews in the final part of the presentation. The lecture part is in Finnish and the following dialogue between the two researchers is in English.
