Join the Chau Chak Wing Museum as Greek-Australian poet and rapper, Luka Lesson, launches his new verse novel, Agapi & Other Kinds of Love, surrounded by ancient Greek artefacts in the Museum's galleries. 

Inspired by Plato's Symposium, Agapi & Other Kinds of Love is Luka Lesson's first verse novel. The reader is taken on a journey through the ancient Greek types of love, as seen through the eyes of ancient lovers Socrates and Diotima, and their modern counterparts, Pavlos and Sophia. 

In Agapi & Other Kinds of Love, Luka Lesson draws on his heritage to show us how love prevails despite the trials and tribulations of the ages. 

For this special event, the artist will combine the ancient Greek types of love embedded within the pages of his book with a selection of ancient Greek artefacts in the Museum. 

Performance and event supported by the Nicholas Anthony Aroney Greek Cultural Program
