Speaking (Through) Sculptures - Veronika Sossau | diss:kurs 2024

How can we study cultural interaction if our literary record is incomplete or biased? Veronika Sossau looks at how ancient cultures communicated visually in the Black Sea region. She discusses ways in which cultural encounters were materialised in their images and why this matters for our understanding of the past.
This video is a recording of Veronika Sossau's presentation at the diss:kurs 2024 event, where doctoral candidates and postdocs of the University of Basel presented their research project to an academic and broader public.
