On Thursday, October 3, 2024, at 12:00 PM Athens time, the show “Imprint” with Fuli Zavitsanou will host archaeologist and ethnologist Panagiota Andrianopoulou, head of the Department of Collections, Research, and Documentation of Folk Art at the Museum of Modern Greek Culture, and a traditional dance teacher. The discussion will center around this past summer’s controversy over the mass participation of young people in traditional festivals across Greece. On one side, there were critiques of a perceived lack of respect for the institution, while on the other, there was a defense of young people’s right to reinterpret and redefine its meaning.
Now that the debate has settled, it’s time to hear from individuals like Panagiota Andrianopoulou, who can provide a calm and enlightening perspective, drawn from both their research and personal experience, offering insights beyond the polarizing discourse found on social media.
