Mapping Eastern Europeis a new open-access interactive website intended to promote study, research, and teaching about the history, art, and culture of Eastern Europe between the 13th and 17th centuries. On the site, users can access historical overviews, art historical case studies, short notices about ongoing research projects, as well as reviews of recent books and exhibitions.

The ICMA Advocacy Seed Grantwill help grow this project by supporting the commissioning of new content from more than 10 early-career contingent scholars covering areas of modern Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Czechia, and Russia. Topics will range from iconographic representations of the Man of Sorrows and the Akathistos Hymn to votive murals, mosaics, female patrons, monastic churches, and icons, among others. Through the support of the ICMA,Mapping Eastern Europecontinues to challenge the ways in which the artistic production of Eastern Europe is defined and considered by making available contributions in English written by researchers and intended for both specialist and broader audiences, including students engaging with this material for the first time.
