Annual Cycladic Lecture – Traces of Memory in the Third Millennium Cyclades

LECTURE

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2024

THE LECTURE

Reconstructed habits, traditions, and ceremonies shed light on ideologies conceptualized in the simplicity of the forms and high aesthetical standards of the marble figurines and vessels that serve as loci of memory storage for these small communities. 

Each year, the Museum of Cycladic Art sponsors a lecture on Cycladic and Ancient Greek Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in fondest memory of Dolly Goulandris.

This year’s lecture will be delivered by Dr. Giorgos Gavalas (Archaeologist, Ephorate of the Cyclades, Greek Ministry of Culture).
