On Saturday 18 June at the scheduled celebration of the Acropolis Museum's 12th anniversary and a peaceful protest at the British Museum, two students came along and produced a great video.
When David studying history and Alex reading Law found a common denominator in the UK campaign for reunification of the Parthenon Marbles.
David Pinto and Alexandros Lees are both students from London.
David studies History at Brown University, where he publishes articles on international affairs and history and creates visual content for various departments. He was attracted to the cause due to its unique combination of classical antiquity and modern diplomacy - two of his principle academic pursuits.
Alexandros studies Law at the London School of Economics, while publishing a tri-weekly finance newsletter providing in-depth deal analysis. As a Greek national, he aims to use his knowledge of cultural property law and deal-making to help engineer the repatriation of the Parthenon Marbles.
Both graduated from St. Paul’s School in 2020, and hope to use their expertise to support the BCRPM’s cause.
