SUMMARY:Nikos Kalafatis: Primavera
DESCRIPTION:Nikos Kalafatis presents Primavera\, an exhibition curated by Athena Schina\, at Technohoros Art Gallery. It is a vibrant\, optimistic\, and deeply personal tribute to the natural world. For Kalafatis\, nature isn’t just a subject; it’s a constant source of daily observation and artistic discovery. Taking the energy of spring as his starting point\, the artist creates a world where simple\, discarded materials are granted a second life. Driftwood\, metals\, ropes\, feathers\, and various objets trouvés are meticulously transformed through painting\, sculpture\, and engraving into works brimming with poetry\, ingenuity\, and a subtle touch of wit.\nThis isn’t just a traditional look at the outdoors; it’s an invitation to adopt a lighter\, more observant way of being\, one that is open to the “everyday miracles” of the city and beyond. In the heart of the festival\, Primavera proves that spring isn’t just a season; it’s a creative state of mind.\n\nExhibition duration: 8–30 May\n\nOpening hours: Tuesday\, Thursday\, Friday: 12:00–20:00; Wednesday\, Saturday: 10:00–18:00. Closed on Sunday & Monday.

SUMMARY:Dr. Yiannis N. Tzortzis: Greenland: Blue Ice
DESCRIPTION:The a.antonopoulou.art gallery presents the new solo photography exhibition by Dr. Giannis Tzortzis\, which is held under the auspices of the Embassy of Denmark in Greece. Through a “green photographic journey” carried out in August 2024\, the artist captures the “barometer of global climate change”: Greenland.\n\nThe exhibition is a powerful “visual cry of anguish\,” documenting UNESCO World Heritage sites at risk and the everyday life of the Indigenous Inuit people. Tzortzis’ experiential images highlight the fragile beauty of the landscape and the dramatic reality of the climate crisis\, reminding us that ice takes on a deep blue color just before it disappears forever.\n\nThe exhibition is accompanied by texts by writer Maria Giannayou and academic Christos Zerefos\, enriching the dialogue between art\, science\, and environmental awareness.\n\nOpening: Thursday\, May 7 at 19:00.\n\nExhibition duration: 7–30 May\n\nOpening hours: Wednesday\, Thursday\, Friday: 14:00–20:00; Saturday: 12:00–16:00. Closed on Monday\, Tuesday & Sunday.

SUMMARY:Demosthenes Agrafiotis: "Xαrtιά" [Crossroads & Junctions] 1975–2025
DESCRIPTION:At Art Project Space\, the exhibition “Xαrtιά” [Crossroads & Junctions] 1975–2025 carries both a retrospective and emotional resonance. Originally conceived by Demosthenes Agrafiotis himself for late 2025\, his sudden passing has transformed this presentation into a vital tribute to the expansive work and thought of a true pioneer in Greek experimental art and poetry.\n\nSpanning five decades of creation\, the exhibition invites the public to navigate the “crossroads” where Agrafiotis’s writing\, imagery\, and theoretical enquiries met. It is a rare opportunity to trace the evolution of a mind that saw art as a constant state of transition and experimentation.\n\nAlongside the retrospective\, the exhibition presents his final creation: the artist’s book “Synoda” (Accompaniments)\, released in a limited\, numbered edition of just 40 unique copies. This is more than an exhibition; it is a final\, precious dialogue with an artist who thought of art as a field for experimentation\, deep enquiry\, and a state of constant transition.\n\n\nExhibition duration: 20–30 May\n\nOpening hours: Tuesday 17:00–21:00\, Thursday & Friday 12:00–20:00\, Saturday 11:00–15:00. Closed on Sunday\, Monday & Wednesday.

SUMMARY:The Revolution of Colours
DESCRIPTION:The National Gallery invites children and parents to an original encounter with history through the programme “The Revolution of Colours.” The heroes and heroines of 1821 “come to life” on paper through the eyes of children\, transforming collective memory into a creative experience.\n\nTaking the iconic works of the museum’s historical collection as a starting point and inspired by the beloved children’s book The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers young visitors discover a primal connection with colours and textures. Students will reconstruct the image of the Revolution’s fighters\, creating their own colourful mosaic from scratch that bridges a storied past with the Greece of today.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.
