Series Byzantina

We present to you this new volume of Series Byzantina, in which we have introduced articles covering exhibitions and important scholarly events. This way, we wish to broaden the scope of the periodical. The present volume contains articles on post-Byzantine art, which enjoys great interest within the region. Research carried out in northern Poland by scholars associated with the Academy in Suprasl and the Warmia and Mazury University in Olsztyn contribute to a better knowledge of the Orthodox art of the borderland between Poland, Lithuania and Belarus. Not worthy example are the exhibitions and conferences organized by Grazyna Kobrzeniecka Sikorska, where one of her recent initiatives was the conference held in 2012 and devoted to the presence of icons in the modern world.
