State of the Arts and ‘Hellenism Through the Ages'
Stockton University and the New Jersey State Council of the Arts, in collaboration
with PCK Media, co-produced a segment for State of the Arts, featuring renowned artist Georgios Kordis and his mural “Hellenism Through the Ages in Nature, Spirit and the Arts,” currently
on permanent display in the Constantelos Hellenic Collection and Reading Room at Stockton. The episode aired May 27 on WHYY on NJTV.
The mural is a representation of Distinguished Professor of History and Religious Studies, Emeritus Rev. Dr. Demetrios Constantelos’ vision of the continuity and contribution of Hellenism from Antiquity to the present.
The segment features interviews with Tom Papademetriou, professor of History and executive director of the Interdisciplinary Center for Hellenic Studies, and Amy Papalexandrou, assistant professor of Art History.

The first segment was filmed at Kordis’ studio in Athens and a Greek Orthodox Church in neighboring Vouliagmeni. Later in March 2018, Susan Waller of PCK Media, filmed the final segment in the Constantelos Reading Room at Stockton.
