Living Hellenes

Living Hellenes is an archival project that includes individuals and organisations across Greece, Cyprus, and the diaspora. They all have a living relationship with Hellenic heritage, working in ritual, scholarship, literature, visual art, performance, and craft. Everyone included shares a commitment to engaging with Greek culture as a living tradition, rather than a frozen artifact.
