  • Welcome to Ioannina a Multicultural City…
    Welcome to Ioannina The city of Giannina, attraction of thousands of tourists every year from Greece and around the world, awaits the visitor to accommodate him with the Epirus known way, suggesting him to live a unique combination of rich past and impressive present. Built next to the legendary lake Pamvotis at 470 meters altitude, in the northwest of Greece, it is the biggest city of Epirus and one of the most populous in the country. History walks beside you through the places, the impressive landscape that combines mountain and water, museums with unique exhibits and monuments also waiting to lead you from the Antiquity to the Middle Byzantine and Late Byzantine period, the Turks, Modern History. And then ... the modern city with modern structures (University, Hospital, Airport, Modern Highway - Egnatia - Regional, local and long distance transportation, Spiritual and Cultural Centres) offer a variety of events throughout the year. Traditional and modern market, various entertainment options, dining and accommodation. A multicultural city… Ioannina arise multiculturally and multifacetedly not only through narrations. Churches with remarkable architecture, mosques and a synagogue, the largest in Greece, testify the multicultural character of the city. The coexistence of Christians, Muslims and Jews was established during the administration of Ali Pasha. The population exchange after the Minor Asia destruction and annihilation of most Jews by the Germans changed the proportions of the population. Muslims may not exist today and the Jews may be few, only those who survived the concentration camps, but the city did not throw off this part of the identity. Today, there are four mosques, three of them very well preserved, while the Jewish synagogue, built in 1826, continues to exist and be the largest and most beautiful of the surviving religious buildings of the Greek Jews.

Northern Epirus is the smallest of the disputed territories in Europe, and its population is not more than 300,000.

  • A Tour of the Pattichion Municipal Museum – Limassol's Historical Archive and Studies Centre
    A TOUR OF THE PATTICHION MUNICIPAL MUSEUM – LIMASSOL’S HISTORICAL ARCHIVE AND STUDIES CENTRE “A museum for Limassol’s contemporary and charming romanticism” By Mimis Sofocleous Scientific Director of the Historical Archive Welcome to “Pattichion Municipal Museum, Historical Archive and Studies Centre”. The Historical Archive is an independent establishment, founded by the Limassol Municipality, aiming to promote the establishment’s principles, which is led by 11 board members, with the current Mayor of the city acting as the President of the management board. Mr. Andreas Christou is currently the Mayor and President of the management board. 1 The building’s opening took place on November 14, 2011. Here is a photograph from the revelation of the sign which is located on the building’s entrance. (The Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr. Neoklis Sylikiotis, at the opening of the first Studies Centre of the Press and Information Office, with the Mayor of Limassol) (The Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr. Neoklis Sylikiotis with the Mayor of Limassol, Mr. Andreas Christou at the opening of the Historical Archive, 14th November 2011.) 2 3 Before entering the Museum, it would be helpful to reference the establishment’s philosophy, adopted by the Historical Archive, Museum and Studies Centre of the Limassol Municipality, which is built on the basis of a simple question and an even simpler answer: ‐“How old is Limassol’s present?” ‐“A s old as the narration in written and oral testimonials, the information, the documents and heilrooms that can be seen in front of us every day (starting from our self‐discovery as parts of an individual and collective memory of our city).” From today until the older days, Limassol never ceased its cultural growth, and this is why we can observe a constant presence, going through a lot of different names before settling on its current one; Limassol.

Mujer brillante, talentosa y amable a quien admiro profundamente. Gracias por ser una gran inspiración. Área o categoría del conocimiento: Artes Gráficas Resumen: El proceso de estampación serigráfica es una técnica artística muy joven comparada con las demás técnicas gráficas, que surge gracias a la aportación de diferentes procedimientos que tienen en común la utilización de una plantilla para generar una estampa, como el estarcido, que tiene orígenes ancestrales, y que evoluciona gracias a la aportación de los procedimientos de diferentes culturas. La serigrafía surge gracias a la aportación de diferentes patentes de creadores que buscaban generar plantillas solucionando el problema de los puentes entre las partes sueltas de la imagen (No era solo estético, era un problema muy serio que comprometía la viabilidad del proceso). En sus comienzos la serigrafía se utilizaba principalmente con fines industriales y publicitarios, pero los artistas descubrieron que podían utilizarla para generar obras con un valor estético, por lo que hubo una constante búsqueda por darle un lugar entre las técnicas gráfica, que se logra gracias al Pop Art, ya que los artistas americanos como Andy Warhol la utilizaron para generar obras que reflejaran su entorno y sociedad, influenciada por los medios de comunicación y el consumismo, dándole un lugar como técnica artística, y abriéndole paso dentro de museos de fama mundial.

    DER PRÄFEKTUR EPIRUS - GRIECHENLAND Epirus Prafektur Ioannina Die Präfektur Ioannina besteht aus einer wunderschönen gebirgigen Landschaft im Nordwesten Griechenlands. Ihr Naturreichtum und ihr Kulturerbe sind trotz des Zivilisationsprozesses in all den Jahren unverändert geblieben. Für Naturliebhaber ist diese Präfektur ein Paradies. Imposante gebirgige Landschaften, tiefe Schluchten, die sich durch die strömenden Gebirgsflüsse mit ihrem glasklaren Wasser gebildet haben, seltene wilde Blumen, Bergwiesen, Gebirgsseen, bewaldete Hügel, aber auch friedliche Täler bilden eine faszinierende natürliche Umgebung , die ein geniales Biotop für seltene Säugetier- und Vogelarten, aber auch für im Wasser lebende Tiere bietet. Aufgrund dieser Vielfalt der Natur ist diese Gegend vor allem für Menschen geeignet, die das Abenteuer suchen, vor allem weil die Umgebung viele Möglichkeiten an Wassersportarten bietet.

Hier erlebte das Heiligtum von Dodonis seine Blütenzeit, sowie die Städte der Molossen in der Antike. Die vielen Klöster und Kirchen, die Stätten des Betens und des inneren Friedens sind, hatten ihre Blütenzeit während des Byzantinischen Reiches und während der Türkenherrschaft. Dies bezeugen vor allem die vielen Wandmalereien, in den Kirchen und Klöstern, die in der ganzen Präfektur verstreut sind. Seit Jahrtausenden vereinigen sich hier Geschichte und Legende, Geist und Kultur, sowie Kunst und volkstümliche Überlieferung.

  • Oral History Interview with Anthony Velonis, 1965 October 13
    Oral history interview with Anthony Velonis, 1965 October 13 Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Anthony Velonis on October 13, 1965. The interview took place in Hackensack, New Jersey, and was conducted by Harlan Phillips for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview HARLAN PHILLIPS: I think you ought to give me some insights by way of beginning as to what you fell heir to in the way of talent, family. You mentioned family out in the shop. ANTHONY VELONIS: There was a certain continuity in the print field, printmakers; printmakers generally. HARLAN PHILLIPS: Was this the background? ANTHONY VELONIS: No. Actually, my grandfather was an ecclesiastical painter, on Byzantine style, you know, Greece. In fact in the backwoods of Greece -- there are no woods in Greece, I mean in the hills of Greece. Then my uncle inherited that on my mother's side. He went to the various schools -- polytechnic school in Athens, and then at the Art Students League here [NYC] in the early part of the century. But he got smitten with the Renaissance stuff. HARLAN PHILLIPS: Let's see: we were going back to the 30s to find out something of background out of which you came. ANTHONY VELONIS: Right. As I said, my uncle, who was quite an inspiration to me, was originally smitten when he came back from Greece with the whole Renaissance thing -- you know, Old Master drawing and whatnot.
