The seminar is organised by the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki in collaboration with the nonprofit organizations (NPO) SILENT ISING and ISTORIMA, under the auspices of the American Academy in Rome with the support of the Italian Embassy in Athens. It serves as the concluding event of the exhibition THE RIVER / VOICING WATER by artists Christina Nakou and Anna Pangalou (“All of Greece One Culture 2024”). The seminar includes lectures and a workshop highlighting the importance of sensory inclusion in the perception of a work of art.
