Cambridge IAG – Industrial Odyssey in Greece
13 May@19:30-20:30
Cambridge Industrial Archaeology Group presents a multimedia exploration of industry in Hellas, with:
Dr Anastasia Christophilopoulou (Fitzwilliam Museum)
Dr Gordon Davies (Cambridge Museum of Technology)
Dr Michael Loy (Cambridge University Faculty of Classics)
FROM ANTIQUITY…
Michael Loy connects ancient trade, industry and seasonal shipping networks: what was made (and moved) in the ancient Aegean (and why)?
…TO CONTEMPORARY
An (Industrial) Tale of Two Cities
Museum volunteer Gordon Davies provides a producer’s commentary on an immersive, documentary-film (originally produced for the Association for Industrial Archaeology workshop The Architecture of Industry), which ‘twins’ the machinery and industrial architecture of Cambridge Museum of Technology with the Industrial Gas Museum, Technopolis City of Athens.
Being an Islander
Courtesy of Anastasia Christophilopoulou, extracts from an anthropology film Being an Islander examine contemporary industries on the Greek island of Siphnos: mining | stone-masonry | pottery.
