Under the Landscape is a cultural and educational project that includes a symposium and exhibition, which aims to generate dialogue among various fields of knowledge concerned with the study of landscapes, with a particular focus on the Greek islands of Santorini and Therasia.
The project is organised by the interdisciplinary research collaborative Itinerant Workshop on Traditional Building Techniques – Boulouki.
The symposium includes keynote lectures by philosopher of art Karsten Harries, cultural geographer Kenneth Olwig, landscape architects Teresa Gali-Izard and Jane Hutton, and anthropologist Tim Ingold.
It also comprises a three-day workshop, where fifteen researchers will introduce their academic works. The exhibition consists of two parts: Knowing from Below, which presents the methodology and findings of Under the Landscape and In Ex Situ, which presents sculptures made from natural local materials – theran earth and volcanic stones – in addition to other artworks.
Under the landscape takes place from 26 June to 24 July at various locations in Santorini and Therasia.
