Beetroot Design Group on ‘The Monsters of Ancient Greek Mythology’

On Tuesday, November 11, 2014, 17:00-18:30 at the Bissell Library, the American College of Thessaloniki hosted a presentation on ‘The Monsters of Ancient Greek Mythology’ organized by the Division of Humanities and Social Sciences and coordinated by Dr. Nikos Dimitriadis, who teaches the course of Ancient Greek Mythology at ACT.
 
The speaker was Mr. Yiannis Charalambopoulos, a member of the Beetroot Design Group. Beetroot is a Thessaloniki-based, multi-awarded communication design office and think tank that provides design services and solutions to a worldwide clientele. In one of their self-initiated projects, they designed the Monsters of Ancient Greek Mythology, a world-acclaimed work currently in exhibit in the USA. The speaker presented their sources of inspiration, the practical preparation and the materialization of the project and answered questions from the enthusiastic audience.
 
The event, which was associated with our Hellenic Heritage program and was also part of our Learning in Action initiatives for the interest of our Study Abroad and NUin students, was very well attended by a great number of students, faculty and visitors.
