Posted on behalf of Angela Cinalli.
The international colloquium ΑΓΩΝΙΣΜΑ will take place on Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 June 2025 (Rome, La Sapienza, Aula Partenone, Museo dell’Arte classica, Facoltà di Lettere e filosofia).
The title of the conference encapsulates the essence of public performances intended for spontaneous enjoyment and collective participation, offering a broader understanding of the artistic and socio-cultural dynamics of the Hellenistic era. This initiative aims to encourage reflection on literary and artistic performing experiences that developed in centres of Hellenism, considering them in relation to erudite forms of production. A methodologically up-to-date, interdisciplinary approach, integrating rich epigraphic documentation with literary, archaeological, and iconographic sources, makes it possible to outline the evolution of artistic trends and grasp numerous essential aspects of the cultural panorama, such as the occasions and contexts of artistic enjoyment and circulation, production methods, exhibition types, and protagonists.
