SUMMARY:Gordon Davies\, "Filming Archaeology in Hellas: Technopolis City of Athens (and beyond)"
DESCRIPTION:image: Technopolis City of Athens (June 2022)\, Long Run Productions\, commissioned by Gordon Davies\, courtesy of Technopolis City of Athens | Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International \nOnline Friends Webinar\nDr Gordon Davies (Cambridge Museum of Technology)\, “Filming Archaeology in Hellas: Technopolis City of Athens (and beyond)”\nABSTACT: Experience a different side of Athens in a series of immersive-documentary videos: landscapes\, cityscapes and soundscapes that explore filming the city’s industrial legacy at Technopolis City of Athens (and beyond). Accompanied with producer’s commentary and ‘making-of-video’ interviews with contributors that discuss (curious) connections between industrial architecture\, Classical antiquity and the history of film-making. Offered as a ‘sequel’ to BSA Friends’ webinar Historical & Contemporary Archaeology in Greece (Thomas Gallant\, July 2022) this video-webinar will investigate how: \n\narchaeology has influenced contemporary industrial-design in Athens (featuring: Κεραμεικός | Kerameikos Metro station)\nindustrial archaeology belongs in Athens’ urban architecture (featuring: Γκαζοχώρι | ‘Gas village’)\nancient topography\, mythology and literary sources (such as Aristotle’s Poetics) can inform (post)industrial spaces\narchaeologists (of all periods) can harness film techniques for visual storytelling beyond linear (verbal) narratives.\n\nProject context:\nThis research originated as a ‘twinning project’ between two industrial museums in the European Route of Industrial Heritage for presentation to an Association for Industrial Archaeology workshop (The Architecture of Industry\, 2023) in co-operation with: \n\nTechnopolis City of Athens (Hellenic Ministry of Culture | Department of Modern Culture and Intangible Assets) for site access\nHellenic Vault of Industrial Digital Archives\n\nDrone videography by Long Run Productions in co-operation with the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority. Project facilitated by the British School at Athens. \nBIO: A lapsed ancient-worlder who has since spent a career in the technology industry\, Gordon Davies has advised the British School at Athens Development Committee and also staggered around the Athens Classic Marathon (with a finishers’ medal to prove it!). This archaeological-videography project originated with the goal to ‘twin’ industrial museums within the European Route of Industrial Heritage.\nThe result was a video-documentary The Architecture of Industry presented to the Association for Industrial Archaeology (2023). Current research includes production of a video-essay: Industrial Architecture as Cinematic Stage to feature the ΑΗΣ ΦΑΛΗΡΟΥ steam-electric power-plant in Athens that hosted an episode (Cosmogony) of Chris Marker’s television series about the reception of Ancient Greece: The Owl’s Legacy. \nOnline only \nTo attend the online webinar\, please register here:  https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_r37xLnAtTZ2QoXpDHUq8Dg

SUMMARY:Hector Williams\, “From the Stone Age to the Cistercians: Arcadian Stymphalos Through the Ages”
DESCRIPTION:BSA Friends’ Lecture Online\nProfessor Emeritus Hector Williams\, “From the Stone Age to the Cistercians: Arcadian Stymphalos Through the Ages”\n\nAbstract: Professor Williams\, who leads the excavations at Stymphalos\, in a small mountainous lake valley in Arcadia\, Greece\, a site famous for Herakles and the Stymphalian birds\, guides us through the site’s fascinating history across many periods. Finds at the site date from the Middle Palaeolithic\, continue through the Bronze Age. We will hear about the late Classical-Hellenistic city currently under excavation\, and how habitation continued through the Roman and Early Byzantine periods and also about the site’s unique Cistercian abbey of Zaraka with its Gothic church. Professor Williams will give us insights into a range of elements throughout the city’s life including the city’s defences\, streets and houses\, its theatre and sanctuaries. We will also hear about pioneering geophysical work which revealed the city’s street plan and other scientific research analysing finds and human remains. \nBio: Hector Williams is Professor Emeritus of Greek Art & Archaeology in the Department of Ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern Studies at the University of British Columbia (UBC)\, Canada\, and has worked in the Aegean for over 56 years.

SUMMARY:Catriona Gallagher \, “An Athenian plant through time: a film screening and artist's talk”
DESCRIPTION:Image caption: Perdikaki (2019)\, a film by Catriona Gallagher\, 38 minutes\, film still\nCatriona Gallagher -Visual Artist (Bridget Riley Fellow 2022-23 – British School at Rome) \, “An Athenian plant through time: a film screening and artist’s talk” \nAbstract \nIn 2013 British-Irish artist Catriona Gallagher discovered an unfamiliar plant growing from Athens’ urban fabric: περδικἀκι (perdikaki). She returned to Athens in 2014 to research the prolific yet overlooked weed in drawing\, writing\, and video. The resulting film\, Perdikaki (2019\, 38 minutes)\, traces the plant’s relationship to Athens – from Pliny the Elder’s medicinal descriptions\, through the Grand Tour\, to the abandonment of the crisis years. The film led to projects such as Athina Garden City\, centered on creating an urban garden for A-DASH project space in Neapoli\, as well as the artist’s current research at the British School at Rome on the metamorphosis of the mythological figure Daphne. \nTo attend IN PERSON please register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/595732089717  \nThursday\, May 11th at 6pm\, Upper House (Director’s Residence)
