Argyro Nicolaou is a Cypriot writer and filmmaker based in NYC. Her writing has been published in the American Historical Review, Boston Art Review, MoMA post, and EUObserver; and her short films have screened at festivals and exhibitions in the US and Europe. She is currently working on a book manuscript about how representations of Mediterranean migration in literature, film, and visual art from antiquity to the present shatter the myth of Fortress Europe. Research for her book has been supported by fellowships from Princeton and Harvard, where she received a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and Critical Media Practice in 2018, and was also the recipient of the Bowdoin Prize, Harvard’s most prestigious writing award. Argyro is currently a Lecturer at the Princeton Institute of International and Regional Studies.
