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: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:A Parade with the Agia Fanfara
DESCRIPTION:Agia Fanfara may be humble\, but they’re also a household name. This 25-piece brass\, woodwind and percussion band has earned a kind of superstar status in Greece—not through showmanship\, but through the fierce devotion of its fans. There’s nothing flashy about them\, and none of its members would ever fit into the typical “celebrity” mould. They’ll be joining the This is Athens City Festival for a full-blown Balkan street party\, starting at Attiki Square and dancing its way to Agios Panteleimonas Square.

SUMMARY:Three-Star Architectural Crown: The Neoclassical Trilogy of Athens
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek. \n\nArchaeologist and guide Michalis Giohalas leads a tour of the Athenian Trilogy\, in collaboration with the This is Athens City Festival. The University\, the Academy and the Library—an opus magnum by brothers Hans Christian and Theophil Hansen—form Athens’ famed neoclassical trilogy. Described by Alexandros Philadelpheus as “the architectural triple crown of our city\,” these buildings remain an enduring and iconic landmark. In the heart of the urban fabric\, visual and literary references to ancient history and mythology intertwine with the dominant ideologies of the time. In these structures\, the recent past confronts antiquity—mirroring the spirit\, aspirations and ideals of a bygone era.

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: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: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
