🎙️I will be speaking with Nicos Philippou about how particular ways of representing the Cypriot landscape and the people of the island have persisted through time and their links to the colonial gaze and romantic (Greek) nationalism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.🎙️

We'll talk space and modernity, nineteenth-century Cypriot visions of economic and social progress, and the links between Cypriot and global histories of modernity, trade and colonialism.🌍
