Charlie Cowling is the archivist and a librarian at SUNY Brockport. He has been carefully sorting through a large collection of photographs on glass slides taken in various places around the world, cir. 1910-1930.
Vegetable and Fruit Market in Kalamata, Greece (1926)
These slides are normally projected using a Balopticon “magic” lantern/ projector, but Charlie’s mission is to digitize and preserve a curated set of the photos and make them available for public viewing. The multitude of images include a set of Greece. Charlie will share with us a “different” history of Greece and his goals for preserving it.
Charlie will mainly present the digitized images, but will give us a taste of Balopticon projector as well.

As Athens, Greece, is emerging from an economic crisis and austerity, the cultural practice of street art has gained enormous significance as a self-authorized medium of public expression. The urban landscape has been deeply transformed by poetic scribbles, political slogans, portraits of protest and struggle, and expressive depictions of everyday hardships many face. The result is a living archive of the current historical moment.

Julia Tulke is a PhD student in the Visual and Cultural Studies, Graduate Program, at the University of Rochester, NY. Julia has documented and examined the role of political street art in Athens since 2013. Using materials collected since then, she will share what the walls of the city reveal about the connection between crisis, creativity, and social transformation.
Dr. Jennifer Kellogg will share stories and images of her experiences working with refugee children in Greece. In the summer of 2017, Dr. Kellogg spent three weeks with a group of volunteers working in urban Athens with unaccompanied refugee minors, otherwise known as homeless children.
Young refugees, uncertain of their future, feeling momentarily free.
This experience gave her a greater appreciation for the global refugee crisis, the effects that it has had on Greece, and the personal traumas that the refugees have suffered.
