International symposium on the voices of Greek-Australians at AUTH
Published
An international symposium titled «Greek-Australians Write Back!: Voices of Change» was held at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH). The event brought together researchers, writers and artists who work on the life and literature of Greek-Australians.
The title of the symposium reflects the aim of the event. Greek-Australian writers and artists want to speak about their own experiences, write about their identity and challenge old images of migration. The discussions presented works that examine the lives of the descendants of migrants in Australia and their relationship with Greece.
The symposium is also of great importance for students and researchers in Thessaloniki. Through the presentations, it became clear that the Greek diaspora is an important part of the country's modern history and culture. The event also provided an opportunity for dialogue between the academic community and the public.
Overall, the symposium showed that the history of Greek-Australians continues to evolve and that their voice is gaining ever greater significance, both in Australia and in Greece.
