SUMMARY:CONQUISTADORS
DESCRIPTION:Nikos Kyriakopoulos and his conquistadors disembark on Lenorman Street. \n\nDragons and wild beasts\, locals and conquistadors—and even Death himself—battle deep in untrodden jungles. \n\nThe thirty-six works in this exhibition are not intended to serve History or the historical genre of painting. Instead\, the artist draws his material from the mythos surrounding the Age of Discovery\, crafting images that move beyond naturalism\, both in form and content. Created using monotype\, a technique dating back to the 16th century\, the works gain added resonance when paired with the fantastical stories they depict. The adventures of the characters serve as a point of departure—not only for the adventures of line and colour\, but also for reflection on themes such as desire\, fear\, conflict and illusion. \n\nOpening: Thursday 8 May 2025\, 19:30–23:00 \n\nOpening hours: Monday to Friday: 10:00–18:00 Saturday: 11:00–15:00 Closed on Sunday

SUMMARY:Vassilis Papageorgiou - Painting and Sculpture: Lignea Creatura Stans
DESCRIPTION:The worlds of plants\, animals and humans—along with legend\, myth\, imagination and dream—form the basis of Vassilis Papageorgiou’s new artistic exploration. His paradoxical heroes and hand-crafted wooden creatures inhabit both two- and three-dimensional space in a state of perpetual whirling. Through an aesthetic lens\, Papageorgiou reflects on the consequences of humanity’s destructive impact on the natural world. From this meditation\, he generates new values—drawn from the cultural references of nature and tradition—that define the conditions for coexistence. \n\nOpening hours: Monday – Friday: 11:30–14:30 & 17:30–20:30 Saturday: 11:30–15:00

SUMMARY:Fairy Tales in the Park: Georgina Konsta - Giannis Psariotis
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek. \n\nThis beautiful text evokes a magical\, springtime atmosphere\, weaving the themes of fairy tales with the blossoming life of nature. In English\, we could adapt it like this: “Springtime wonders… with fairy tale patches! A red thread tied within the forest awaits\, ready to meet a blue one\, to begin a fairy tale. The May flowers weave lovely songs\, and everything feels like music\, just like a wonderful life. Fairy tales and spring together\, it’s truly a celebration. Spring and fairy tales always tell the truth\, Everything around us is blooming and the myrtle scents the air. Every word is beautiful with a lovely company. Come sit beside us\, and fall in love with stories! Come join us for tales under the blue Attic sky\, where the light and the scents of spring fill the air and reach everywhere!”.\n\nNarration: Georgina Kosta\nMusic: Giannis Psariotis

SUMMARY:3rd Accessible Stand-Up Comedy Festival

Because comedy belongs to everyone.
