PSYCHE: Where does the soul go?

PSYCHE: Where does the soul go? explores Ancient Greek ideas about life after death. Does the soul spend eternity in the murky underworld? Will it be reborn as something new? Or does it just… disappear? This exhibition reveals some of the ancient answers to these unknowable questions through storytelling and artefacts, as our short paper animation brings the figures of Ancient Greek pottery to life. 

This exhibition is curated by Stephanie Holton Lecturer in Classical Studies at the Open University. With thanks to Meg Warriner, Ben Stoddart, Jasmine McGee, Jemimah Allen, Rhys Barnfather, Felix Trench, Hector Holton, Moving Parts Arts, Institute for Classical Studies, Newcastle University, and the Open University.
