Chimeras in the Museum

In this seminar poet and architect Phoebe Giannisi (University of Thessaly) revisits her research on the goat-herding practices of the Vlachs, a nomadic people of the Southern Balkans, that informed her groundbreaking poetry collection Chimera. She will consider the relationship of her research with that of anthropologist John Campbell among similar communities and discuss how her practice that draws on field recordings, state archives, and ancient texts might be presented as part of an upcoming exhibition of public humanities projects in Greece.

Registration closes at NOON on Wednesday, November 13th. If you do not have a Columbia ID, you will receive a QR code to access Faculty House.
