Re-reading/re-thinking the cultural landscape.

During the days of the 4th HMO International HerMa Conference, an outdoor photography exhibition will take place in Elefsina, in the Paleo Eleourgio (Old Oil Factory) and on the pedestrian road outside the archaeological site of Elefsina. The exhibits are chosen from the output of a photography workshop undertaken by the students of the MA in Heritage Management, organised by the Athens University of Economics and Business and the University of Kent, under the supervision of the photographers and curators Jeff Vanderpool and Stergios Karavatos. The subjects of this exhibition are related to all aspects of the ruins and monuments of Elefsina. The results illuminate issues such as the branding and marketing of cultural heritage, archiving the more complicated industrial heritage and celebrating the reuse of those spaces.

This event scrutinizes Aeschylus’ perceived status as a venerable literary monument .. and as someone with a fundamental concern for core societal values .. do they have relevance for us today?

Aeschylus is the first ancient Greek playwright who bequeathed to European culture significant tragedies. Only seven (the Oresteia trilogy, Persians, Seven Against Thebes, The Suppliants, and Prometheus Bound) of his estimated seventy to ninety plays have survived. However, the key notion, the core theme in all of his plays, appears to be the concept of authority (ἐξουσία). This subject and his observations on it, perhaps more appropriate than ever in this globalised world, is of utmost importance to modern societies.

Thus, be it a matter of ancient tragedies or timeless societal notions, of physical monuments and even their ruins, all these local and global aspects can be integrated and woven into a structure, through whose contemplation and exploration new and substantive approaches to the importance of heritage in the postmodern world can be achieved.

The local communities are an integral and vital factor in successfully managing and protecting the cultural heritage. This event, is an open dialogue between local representatives of Elefsina and participants of the conference acting for the international audience. A practical framework for the managing heritage at the community level and acknowledging its importance is hoped to emerge.
