Travel Talk: An archaeological expedition
Saturday 7 March from 2pm to 3pm
Join Paul Donnelly on a journey through archaeological sites in Greece, Italy, Jordan, and Syria, where he uncovers the latest discoveries and the forces which give each place its distinct character.
Taking landscape, time period, materiality and serendipity as lenses for examination, Donnelly reveals how the past can be understood in different ways. Explore the surviving ruins of these extraordinary sites and discover not only how they once functioned, but why they have endured.
Paul Donnelly is Deputy Director of the Chau Chak Wing Museum at The University of Sydney. He is a practising archaeologist and a co-director of the University of Sydney Zagora Archaeological Project on the Island of Andros, Greece.
Donnelly will be leading a World Art Tour Unearthing Ancient Greece in May 2026.
