Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting Tatiana Markaki, Tania Markaki, Associate Professor at the University of Amsterdam, who spoke to us about her book “Women and Material Culture in 17th-Century Crete”. The event was introduced by Ven Galanaki
The venue of Stegi was packed, confirming the public’s keen interest, and a lively discussion followed, with the speaker thoroughly answering the questions posed.
Through archival sources from Venice, unknown aspects of the daily lives of women in Crete during the late Venetian rule were illuminated—from the objects they possessed to their social and cultural identities.
Many thanks to the speaker and all who attended!
