| Video Discription | Professor Artemis Leontis, the C. P. Cavafy Professor of Modern Greek and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan and a valued member of CYA's Board of Advisors, delves into the biography of the Bryn Mawr-educated American visionary Eva Palmer Sikelianos, who lived in Greece from 1907 to 1933 and who was married to the renowned poet Angelos Sikelianos, exploring various aspects of her fascinating life. CYA Professor Nina Papathanasopoulou facilitated the lecture and served as the discussant for this insightful session. ABOUT THE LECTURE In her book, "Eva Palmer Sikelianos: A Life in Ruins," Professor Artemis Leontis embarks on a remarkable 10-year journey to uncover the traces of Sikelianos' life. This biography explores the diverse roles of this wealthy lesbian expatriate - actor, director, composer, weaver, translator, and activist. Sikelianos dedicated her lifetime to resurrecting the lost Greek culture hinted at by ancient ruins and living practices. Professor Leontis delves into various aspects of Eva Palmer Sikelianos' life, including her pivotal contributions to the revival of ancient traditions, collaborative efforts with her husband, the Greek poet Angelos Sikelianos, in organizing the Delphic Festivals in the 1920s, and the complexities of her unconventional lifestyle.
