Renowned cultural heritage advocate Emanuel J. Comino AM will deliver a public lecture on Thursday, 15 May 2025, at 7pm at the Hellenic Club of Canberra at Woden, sharing insights from nearly five decades of campaigning for the return of the Parthenon Marbles to Greece.
Mr Comino, Founder and Chairman of the International Organising Committee – Australia – for the Restitution of the Parthenon Marbles, established in 1981, has dedicated over 49 years to global advocacy on the issue.
His efforts were formally recognised during the 1981 National Convention of AHEPA Australia, where the first committee for the Marbles’ return was formed.
The upcoming lecture, hosted in the Apollo Room and presented by AHEPA Canberra and the Hellenic Club, offers attendees a chance to hear directly from Mr Comino about his international campaign and the cultural significance of the Marbles.
Those requiring assistance with booking can speak to staff at the Hellenic Club reception. A live stream will also be available here for those unable to attend in person.
