SUMMARY:Tradition and Reinvention in Greek Women's Costume
DESCRIPTION:Patterns of Magnificence: Tradition and Reinvention in Greek Women’s Costume\nThe Hellenic Centre & The Peloponnesian Folklore Foundation \n \nAbundant in local variety\, rich in embroidered and woven decoration and monumental in its completed ensemble\, Greek traditional women’s dress has few equals in other countries. \nThe exhibition\, “Patterns of Magnificence: Tradition and Reinvention in Greek Women’s Costume”\, which will be hosted by the Hellenic Centre in February 2014\, will bring over forty of the most splendid examples to London for the first time.  They include the richly embroidered costume from Astypalaia in the Dodecanese\, the astonishing assembly of fabrics\, colours and jewellery from Stefanoviki in Thessaly and the superbly brocaded dress from Jannina in Epirus. \nThe exhibition will also illustrate the interplay of native tradition and western aesthetic by displaying the court dress of the first Queen of the independent Greek state\, Amalia of Oldenburg and that of her successor at the end of the nineteenth century\,  Queen Olga\, the Russian-born consort of King George I. These splendid costumes represent a synthesis that is emblematic of nineteenth century nation building. \nDuring the period of the exhibition the Hellenic Centre will arrange guided tours and hold lectures on costume\, textiles\, the reception of the indigenous tradition and the history and culture of Greece after independence. \nAll but two of the costumes come from the superb collection of the Peloponnesian Folklore Foundation in Nafplio. The other two are being lent by The Benaki Museum of Athens. The curator of the exhibition is the Foundation’s director and renowned expert\, Ioanna Papandoniou. The designer is Stamatis Zannos. \nA fully illustrated catalogue with 10 essays by specialists in the field alongside catalogue entries and images for each costume  will be available and will be the first major English language publication on traditional women’s dress in Greece since Angeliki Hatzimichali’s two-volume survey\, The Greek Folk Costume\, of 1979/84. \n  \nCurator\nIoanna Papantoniou\n \nDesigner\nStamatis Zannos \nThe exhibition is dedicated to the memory of  Koula Lemos who gave so much for the Hellenic Centre.\nThe exhibition and the associated events are sponsored by George & Natasha Lemos and  Dino &Calliope Caroussis.  \n  \nExhibition dates\n4 February – 2 March 2014 \nOpening times:\nMonday-Friday\, 10am-5pm\nSaturday-Sunday\, 12-6pm\nAdmission Free \n  \nGuided Tours\nBy the curator of the exhibition on Tuesdays and Thursdays\, 12-12.45pm. Further guided tours for groups available on request. Please contact 020 7487 5060. \nSpecial Workshops\nModelled by the Peloponnesian Folklore Foundation\, available on request on Saturdays and Sundays\, 12-6pm.

G. Leventis           Foundation Collection of 19th and 20th Greek Painting. She has also         written extensively on Greek artist Nico Ghika\, including the recent book for the Benaki Museum on the restoration of his house and  studio. \n  \nFriday 7 February\, 7.15pm \nDressed to Kill or Dressed to Rule?  \nDr Philip Mansel discusses the politics of dress\, with special reference to Greece in the 19th century.  Dress could be a means of communicating a political message\, as well as of encouraging local industries. In the 19th century most monarchs\, wore military or naval uniform\, and expected their officials to do the same. Some monarchs\, however\, particularly in new or vulnerable states\, preferred to wear ‘national dress’ in order to try to assert national identity. \n  \nDr Philip Mansel is a historian of France and the Ottoman Empire. His books include a study of court dress from Louis XIV to Elizabeth II\, Dressed to Rule (2005)\, and histories of Constantinople (Constantinople\, City of the World’s Desire\, 1995) and of Smyrna\, Alexandria and Beirut (Levant: Splendour and Catastrophe on the Mediterranean\, 2010). He is a founding trustee of the Levantine Heritage Foundation and editor of The Court Historian\, journal of the Society for Court Studies. In 2012 he received the London Library Life in Literature award. \n  \nWednesday 12 February\, 7.15pm \nWhat Lord Byron Saw in Greece (1809-1811) \nProf Roderick Beaton\, follows the travels of the young Lord Byron through Greece and western Asia Minor and shows how the strangeness and the newness of all that he saw affected him as a poet and helped him to write one of the most famous bestsellers in the English language\, Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage\, whose first two cantos were published in March 1812. \nRoderick Beaton is Koraes Professor of Modern Greek and Byzantine History\, Language and Literature at King’s College London and Director of the Centre for Hellenic Studies there. His most recent book is Byron’s War: Romantic Rebellion\, Greek Revolution\, published by Cambridge University Press in 2013. \n  \nTuesday 18 February\, 7.15pm \nTraces and Influences of Greek Local Dress in Contemporary Fashion and Costume Design  \nDr Sofia Pantouvaki presents a selection of designs from the fields of fashion and theatrical costume by Greek\, Cypriot and international couturiers and costume designers. The variety of Greek local dress and its distinctive  features have inspired contemporary creative production in the field of  design both in present-day fashion and in performance costume. Within a new aesthetic\, social and cultural framework\, modern creators interpret elements of Greek popular culture moving on from the ‘folklore’ approach\, and transform the forms and meanings of the past into expressive media for the present. \nSofia Pantouvaki\, Ph.D.\, is a scenographer and Professor of Costume Design at Aalto University\, Finland. Her design credits include over 60 theatre\, opera and dance productions in Greece\, Italy\, UK\, Cyprus and Finland. Co-author of History of Dress – The Western World and Greece (2010) and co-editor of Presence and Absence: The Performing Body (in press)\, Sofia has taught\, lectured and published internationally. \n  \nTuesday 25 February\, 7.15pm \nAthena’s Craft: Greek Textiles and their Meaning  \nDr Ian Jenkins\, Senior Curator at the British Museum chairs a panel discussion with Ioanna Papantoniou\, curator of the exhibition Patterns of Magnificence; Dr Shelagh Weir of SOAS and Dr Athena Leoussi of The University of Reading. The discussion will explore the place of textiles and costumes in life and society generally with an emphasis on the semiotics of the human body and its adornment. The case of Greece will be illuminated through cross-cultural comparisons. \nDr Ian Jenkins is Senior Curator at the British Museum where he has worked since 1978 and where he has been responsible for the presentation of many permanent galleries\, and temporary exhibitions.

She also runs a workshop for expression and creativity. In the spirit of economy  evident  in all aspects of traditional culture she turns  recycled materials into beautiful  double faced bags which she decorates  with printed photographs. \nThe above items and the exhibition catalogue will be available for sale at the Hellenic Centre.
