The Other Designs Sofia Bempeza

The publication project The Other designs, adopts a critical viewpoint shared by many contemporary academics that highlight how the institutionalization of antiquity as "national heritage" has shaped an ideological framework for experiencing and performing a national identity. This viewpoint "kick-starts" an approach to the idea that nations such as Greece are in some way a multifaceted "assemblage", of constellated projections. The Other designs, aims to contribute to the current re-examination of historical authenticity by reflecting upon the status of national identity as a kind of "artistic" setup.
