Series of Lectures on ‘Politics and Art” in Athens, Greece

Here is the program of a series of lectures I am giving in the Student Union of the University of Athens (15 Ippokratous Street, 10679 Athens, Greece). All lectures start at 18:00 and will be given in Greek. In some of them the lecture will be preceded by the projection of a movie, which will provide the background for my talking. The general topic is “Politics and Art”.
