SUMMARY:Vera Stavrinadi: Pop-Up Frequencies
DESCRIPTION:Astrolavos Art Gallery hosts “Pop-Up Frequencies”\, a striking sculptural intervention by Vera Stavrinadi that occupies the gallery space with undeniable presence and style. Monumental sculptures in the form of contemporary totems alternate with smaller floor and wall-mounted pieces\, all bathed in the vibrant\, fluorescent hues of pop culture and comic- book aesthetics.\n\nWith a sarcastic yet playful approach that draws on the world of children’s toys\, the artist opens a fragmented dialogue regarding the values of modern society. By casting a critical eye on consumerist tropes and contemporary superficiality\, Stavrinadi successfully marries a sharp perspective with an irresistibly joyful dimension. This experience invites us to view the “idols” of our everyday lives through a new\, luminous\, and subversive frequency.\n\nExhibition duration: 1–30 May\n\nOpening hours: Tuesday\, Wednesday\, Thursday\, Friday: 12:00–16:00 and 17:00–20:00; Saturday: 11:00–15:00. Closed on Sunday & Monday.

SUMMARY:Thematic Tour: The Depiction of the Face through the Collections of the National Gallery
DESCRIPTION:In the main building of the National Gallery\, the public has the opportunity to participate in a thematic tour dedicated to the art of portraiture. The tour explores the timeless need of artists\, as well as historical figures\, to keep their likeness alive through the centuries\, beginning with the simple\, and almost ascetic forms of the Saints in the late 16th century.\n\nAs the tour progresses towards the present day\, visitors observe radical changes in materials and techniques\, discovering how the long tradition of painting was transformed to render human psychography with a contemporary perspective. It is a journey into the gaze and the form\, illuminating the evolution of identity and artistic expression through the treasures of the country’s most important gallery.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:Guided Tour: Nikolas Klironomos Retrospective "1985–2025"
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to a series of guided tours of the Nikolas Klironomos retrospective\, a tour covering forty years of continuous artistic creation.

This is an opportunity to delve into the unseen aspects of time and human existence\, understanding how Klironomos manages to give a monumental character to the small\, fragmentary moments of our lives. An experiential tour that speaks straight to the heart and memory\, offering a comprehensive look at the work of one of the most versatile creators on the contemporary Greek scene.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:Historical Walk: "Women in the Resistance"
DESCRIPTION:History is often written in the singular\, but the soul of Athens was defended by many. As part of the Athens City Festival 2026\, historian Menelaos Charalampidis invites us on a specialized commemorative walk through the city streets\, illuminating a pivotal yet often overlooked chapter: the defiant role of women during the Occupation.\n\nThrough personal testimonies\, rare documents\, and vivid storytelling\, the footsteps of iconic figures like Lela Karagianni\, Elektra Apostolou\, and Ioulia Bimba come to life. From the protesters who stood unflinching before enemy tanks to the female partisans of the eastern neighbourhoods\, the city reveals a different\, fiercely dynamic face.\n\nThis isn’t just a journey through the struggle for liberation; it’s the story of women claiming a new place in post-war society. Join us for an experience that bridges past and present\, inviting you to “re-read” the history of Athens through the voices of the trailblazers who were kept on the margins for far too long.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:Fairytales with the Sousourades
DESCRIPTION:Red thread tied\, wrapped around a doll. A doll that gave birth to many more. Another that travelled so far it reached and stuck to the king’s nose. And yet another that spins red threads out of nothing\, winds them onto a spindle and sets it turning… for the story to begin. \n\nA musical storytelling performance dedicated to dolls that came to life and set off on wondrous journeys. The Sousourades travel alongside them through the words of magical tales\, into a land where even a doll can speak with a human voice and roam the whole world.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:Athens: Urban Frictions
DESCRIPTION:The Macart Cultural Space\, in collaboration with iFocus Gallery\, presents “Athens: Urban Frictions”\, a collective photographic exploration of the Greek capital. Thirty contemporary Greek and international photographers attempt to capture the city’s identity through diverse and often conflicting lenses\, highlighting its inherent contradictions\, tensions\, and ongoing transformations.\n\nIn this exhibition\, Athens is not approached as a singular\, static image\, but as a field of constant negotiation between memory\, lived experience\, and change. Black-and-white and colour works\, analogue shots\, and contemporary digital perspectives weave a narrative where the act of wandering becomes a way of “reading” the city. The show explores Athens in the space between noise and silence\, the visible and the suggestive\, and the weight of history versus a constantly shifting present. It is an invitation to view the capital not as a mere backdrop\, but as a living\, complex entity.\n\nExhibition duration: 6–30 May\n\nOpening: 6 May at 19:00.\n\nOpening hours: Monday–Friday: 10:00–18:00; Saturday: 10:00–14:00. Closed on Sunday.
