About Us

1st Terra in Cognita International Conference Dialogues between Greek Culture and Modern American Art November 10-13, 2022 Call for Papers Hellenic American University announces the extension of the Call for Papers to July 20, 2022. The 1st Terra in Cognita Conference is an interdisciplinary project that brings together faculty, researchers, early-career scholars, and artists to explore associations between Modern American Art and iconic aspects of Greek Culture such as myth, ancient tragedy, Byzantine art, architecture, and symbolism. These subjects created an inspirational source in visual, performing, expressive arts, and literature for the development of Modern American Art in the 20th century and were embraced by American, Greek American, and Greek artists who incorporated this intriguing cultural dialogue in their work. The links between Greek cultural elements and modern American Art expand beyond the conventions of artistic production and unfold parameters of sociological influences and historical interconnections. Migration, national identity, and historical events shaped Modern American Art and became a key element in the development of new artistic movements. This year’s Conference aspires to constitute an umbrella, where different backgrounds and approaches will examine the interaction between Greek Culture and Modern American Art in a unified framework of contemporary aesthetics and cultural discourse.
