Columbia University in New York will host yet another event with Bulgarian participation. The Harriman Institute organizes a public lecture by Prof. Alexander Kiossev on the topic "Possible Future: Looking Backwards". 

The event is scheduled for April 25 this year, from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm and will be held in the Marshall Shulman Seminar Room at the International Affairs Building (420 West 118th Street MC 3345 New York, NY 10027) .

The moderator will be another Bulgarian scientist - Prof. Valentina Izmirlieva, director of the Harriman Institute and professor of Slavic languages and literatures at Columbia University.


Prof. Kiossev is the Director of the Cultural Center of the St. Kliment Ohridski University in Sofia and chairman of the board of the Southeast European Academic League, and at his lecture at Columbia University he will touch on topics such as "demiurgic avant-garde art" that emerged after the First World War. The abstract for the upcoming lecture says that, using examples from the Soviet avant-garde of the 1920s, "both the visionary and the self-exploring, reflexive aspects of utopianism" will be examined. The context of the time will be recreated and some of the strangest projects of Soviet art from that time will be described, in order to draw a parallel with the often discussed topic of the lack of alternatives and the crises of the imagination.

Details of the event can be found on the institute's website HERE.

Professor Alexander Kiossev will also speak at the Consulate General of Bulgaria in New York on May 4 at 6:00 p.m. on the topic "Patriotism and Populism".
