Meet Tulsi

Hi, I’m Tulsi and I’m one of the co-founders of the Athens Archaeology Festival! As a postdoctoral researcher at the British School at Athens and a lecturer at College Year in Athens, I have have over a decade of experience combining academic research with dynamic public programming. I am committed to making archaeology accessible, inclusive, and socially engaged.

I work regularly with local schools and migrant communities, using archaeology and object handling as a form of well-being. I have developed and contributed to initiatives which use ancient craft techniques, including mosaic making, as a form of art rehabilitation for young offenders. I have also created interactive public-facing exhibitions, including at the British Academy in London and the Museum of Classical Archaeology in Cambridge.

The booth has a large sign titled 'A Time-Traveller's Odyssey,' and there are books and a display on a tabie to the right with a green fabric backdrop. A large screen showing a digital scene of a bridge and buildings is mounted behind them, and bookshelves filled with books are on the wall.

As a teacher and lecturer, moreover, I strive to bring students and wider audiences into direct dialogue with Greece’s archaeological landscapes, and I now use my experience to co-direct a postgraduate training course on how to communicate archaeology.
