Othello's Island 2016
The 4th Annual Conference on Mediaeval and Renaissance Art and Culture.
The annual medieval "culture-fest" of Othello's Island returns to Nicosia with a bigger and more international line up of academic speakers than ever.
Topics are diverse, ranging from Shakepeare's great play set on Cyprus, Othello, to medieval Spanish political satire, and the architecture of early Cypriot churches to the origin of tarot cards in medieval Italy.
Over three days 100 leading academics from Cyprus, the USA, Britain, France, Ireland, Israel, Italy and many other countries will meet in Nicosia to hear the latest research by 70 speakers into mediaeval and renaissance art, literature, history and culture.
The conference includes an evening public lecture.
This year the speaker will be the distinguished academic Dr Astrid Swenson of Brunel University of London on 18 March at 19:00.
Dr Swenson is an expert on the way colonial powers saw it as their duty to protect the medieval heritage of colonised countries like Cyprus in the 19th century.
Sponsored by the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies, London.
