The National Hellenic Museum in Chicago is hosting a series of online programs throughout April, bringing together discussions, book clubs, and a film screening.
The lineup moves across time and place, from Easter traditions to the history of Greek communities in Alexandria and the memory of Smyrna before 1922. Rather than centering on a single theme, the program reflects a range of subjects tied to religion, diaspora, and historical memory.
This month’s schedule includes:
- Tuesday, April 14, 7:00 PM
Easter in the East: A Joint Discussion with the Ukrainian National Museum - Thursday, April 16, 7:00 PM
Online Book Club: The Scapegoat by Sophia Nikolaidou - Wednesday, April 22, 12:00 PM
Nasir and the Greeks of Alexandria - Monday, April 27, 7:00 PM
Film Club: Jim Henson’s The Storyteller (Episodes 1–4), a discussion of selected episodes from the television series - Tuesday, April 28, 12:00 PM
Smyrna Before the Catastrophe - Thursday, April 30, 7:00 PM
Young Readers Book Club: The Trials of Apollo: The Tyrant’s Tomb by Rick Riordan
