The 83rd anniversary of OXI Day is set to be remembered far and wide across NSW with many initiatives planned by various organisations, all aimed at shedding light on this major moment in Greece's history.
The Australian Hellenic Educators' Association (AHEA), in collaboration with the NSW Department of Education, is gearing up to host this year's Conference on Modern Greek education in primary and secondary schools, titled 'New Ways'.
Theodora Minas Gianniotis writes on how Dr. Vasilis Adrahtas bridged the gap between Ancient Greece and Indigenous Australia through Myths and Dreamings: Cross Hatchings between Ancient Greece and Indigenous Australia.
Sydney's Macedonian community welcomed the official beginning of the Dimitria Festival 2022 on Sunday with celebrations organised by the Pan-Macedonian Association of New South Wales
Melbourne-based community group, Democritus Worker’s League, uploaded a poster-commentary on social media on the occasion of this year’s 200th anniversary of the Greek revolution.
The pictured artwork, bearing the inscription “1821-2021 – 200 years of stray dogs” depicts Greece as a female figure in traditional costume, her body at the mercy of eight dogs.
Each dog is named after problematic ideologies and conditions that are often referred to by Greeks as the country’s long-standing woes.
The ‘stray dogs’ bear the names: corruption, capitalism, profusion of public servants, religious obscurantism, ‘rousfetia’, tax evasion, ecological vandalism and wasteful spending.
The post that went up on their Facebook page on Friday did not go unnoticed having already garnered initial reactions from community members.
