In this seminar Fulbright Visiting Artist Iria Vretou considers the place of volcanoes in the history and culture of the Eastern Mediterranean and draws on her travels to areas of volcanic activity and her documentation of them through field recordings, drawings, and animation to critically question common or exhausted understandings of identity by thinking through the point of view of geological formations with a diverse life of cultural associations.

This seminar is co-sponsored by the Program in Hellenic Studies. Registration closes at NOON on Wednesday, March 26th. If you do not have a Columbia ID, you will receive a QR code to access Faculty House.
