UWA Publishing and UNSWriting invite you to the launch of a new book by George Kouvaros!
How should the people that migrated across the world be remembered? What role do films and photographs play in the remembrance?
Drawing on the events surrounding the arrival of George Kouvaros’ family in Australia from Cyprus, The Old Greeks traces how film and photography help us to make sense of the experience of migration.
Combining elements of autobiography, cultural history and criticism, George Kouvaros writes about complex issues through intimate family stories.
Whether directly or indirectly, all our lives have been affected by the experience of migration. The Old Greeks considers how this experience is lived – by those who initiated the migratory journey and those who grew up in its wake. The result is a delicate balance between survival and extinction, expectation and obligation, onlooker and image.
Light snacks and refreshments provided.
