Archaeology of the Future

How is the presence of Greece influenced by its rich history?

Insights into themes of heritage, identity and solidarity

What is distinctive about contemporary Greek culture - visual arts, literature, film, theatre and music? In the publication Culturescapes Greece/Greece, Greek artists, writers, researchers, academics and politicians provide insights into the festival themes of heritage, identity and solidarity.twelve essays analyse how the Greek present is influenced and constructed by perceptions of such an influential history - from antiquity and the Byzantine Empire to the turbulence of the post-war period - or how recent political and economic developments permeate the notion of identity and belonging. Numerous illustrations and photo spreads of recent photography illustrate the publication.
