Ecological Translation
2026-05-01 08:00 - 17:00 | Goethe-Institut Athen, 14-16 Omirou, Athens, 106 72, Greece
The Goethe-Institut Athen presents the exhibition Ecological Translation, a bold exploration of our relationship with the natural world.

What if technology allowed us to speak directly with animals and plants?

Drawing on emerging legal frameworks that recognise rights for rivers and ecosystems, the exhibition examines the use of artificial intelligence and remote sensing as a potential “Google Translate” between humans and the environment. Through the work of an international group of artist visitors are invited to reflect on whether we can truly translate the radical otherness of beings such as bats or whales. The exhibition, which opened on 28 April, forms part of a broader interdisciplinary symposium that seeks to highlight both the opportunities and the risks of new scientific approaches reminding us that the complexity of the climate crisis demands a new, shared language of communication with the planet.

Nikolas Klironomos: A Retrospective (1985–2025)
2026-05-01 11:00 - 19:00 | The City of Athens Gallery, Municipal Gallery of Athens, Athens, Athens, 104 36, Greece
This major retrospective is a brilliant place to start looking into the work of Nikolas Klironomos, an artist who has spent decades masterfully blurring the lines between fine art and set design.

Klironomos doesn’t just paint; he “directs” his canvases. Think of him as a visual filmmaker who takes the raw, chaotic energy of Athens, our streets, our faces, our light, and filters it through a lens of memory and emotion.

In this exhibition, the mundane meets the dreamlike. You’ll see the changing seasons of the city tangled up with those small, quirky moments that make life in Athens so unique. By playing with vibrant palettes and some rather unusual materials, he creates scenes that feel like they’re in constant motion. It’s a bit like catching a glimpse of Athens from a moving Vespa—everything is fluid, poetic, and strangely alive.

This exhibition is designed to speak directly to your heart and your memory. What’s truly clever is how Klironomos takes “the bits and bobs” of life, those fragmented, everyday moments, and gives them a sense of grandeur and importance. It’s a proper journey into the hidden corners of time and what it actually means to be human.

Exhibition duration: 1 May – 14 June

Opening hours: Tuesday–Saturday: 11:00–19:00; Sunday: 10:00–16:00. Closed on Monday.

Giorgos Tserionis: AFTER
2026-05-01 11:00 - 19:00 | The City of Athens Gallery, Municipal Gallery of Athens, Athens, Athens, 104 36, Greece
Through his works, Giorgos Tserionis captures the life cycle of homo urbanus, using a diverse array of materials such as clay, marble, metal, and latex. The artist creates a contemporary “archaeology” from ruins, building skeletons, and debris, highlighting the daily struggle for survival and the eternal search for a better life.

Set within a historic neoclassical building in Metaxourgeio, his work functions as a memento mori that, while underscoring human fragility, is not devoid of hope.

By juxtaposing darkness with light and “hazard yellow” with earthy tones, the creator leads us beneath the surface of things, offering a compassionate look at the hardships of modern man and giving a wink to the future with his own version of “and they lived happily ever after.

Exhibition duration: 1–10 May

Opening hours: Tuesday–Saturday: 11:00–19:00; Sunday: 10:00–16:00. Closed on Monday.

Panos Charalambous: COLUMBIA
2026-05-01 11:00 - 20:00 | CITRONNE Gallery, 19 Patriarchou Ioakim, Athens, 106 75, Greece
At CITRONNE Gallery, Panos Charalambous invites us to step into a “sonic room” that speaks directly to the memory of the city. The journey begins in 2006, the year the historic Columbia vinyl record factory in Rizoupoli was demolished, symbolically closing a massive chapter of Greek music history. Columbia was a place where the voices, songs, and moments that shaped our collective soundscape were once etched into wax.

Charalambous transforms the gallery into a visceral, immersive installation. Here, you are invited to walk across a “sound floor,” literally treading on the echoes of a memory that refuses to fade. It is a haunting reminder that music doesn’t vanish with the buildings that once housed it; instead, it survives through emotion, shared experience, and our collective imagination.

In a city that is constantly evolving, COLUMBIA is a profound meditation on decay, remembrance, and our deep-seated need to keep our shared history alive.

Exhibition duration: 29 April – 29 June

Opening hours: Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 11:00–20:00; Wednesday, Saturday: 11:00–16:00. Closed on Monday & Sunday.

Costas Ordolis: Cities Made of Paper
2026-05-01 11:00 - 20:30 | Ikastikos Kyklos, Akadimias 6, Athens, Athens, 106 71, Greece
As part of the This is Athens City Festival 2026, Eikastikos Kyklos DL presents “Cities Made of Paper”, a solo photography exhibition by Kostas Ordolis. Through a series of deeply atmospheric works, the artist composes a personal map of cities that ignores conventional geography, following the lines of internal experience, memory, and fleeting impressions.

His images possess a fragile, almost transparent quality, appearing to hover between the real and the dreamlike. Here, the urban environment is stripped of its everyday bustle, presented instead as a realm of silence, poetics, and contemplation. The exhibition serves as an invitation to a different kind of city stroll, one where time slows down and architecture takes on a sense of vulnerability, memory, and emotion.

Exhibition duration: 1–16 May

Opening hours: Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 11:00–14:30 and 17:30–20:30; Wednesday, Saturday: 11:00–16:00. Closed on Monday & Sunday.

Bless You! (It’s a Pollen Fiasco)
2026-05-01 12:00 - 16:00 | Plato’s Academy Park, Monastiriou 138, Athens, Athens, 104 42, Greece
Twenty clowns, third-year students from the Athens Conservatory Drama School, take over Plato’s Academy, sharing smiles and spontaneity.

Under the direction of Ilias Kounelas and Maria Menegaki, they invite us to see the world through their eyes: a place where a clown kneels beside the flowers so as not to tower over them. A moment full of freedom and emotion, celebrating the value of “being together” most uniquely and unpredictably.

Inna Orlik: The Permanent Collection
2026-05-01 12:00 - 18:00 | Orlik Gallery, 3 Palaiologou Benizelou, Athens, 105 56, Greece
Orlik Gallery invites the This is Athens City Festival audience to a distinctive encounter with the visual universe of Inna Orlik. This exhibition brings to the fore a world where contemporary painting enters into a dialogue with mythology, nature, and the human experience, creating an environment rich in symbolism and layers of interpretation.

Defined by bold colours, complex textures, and a singular painterly language, Orlik’s works move between the visible and the suggestive, the personal and the collective. The artist transforms the canvas into a space for narrative and exploration, inviting the viewer to discover forms, symbols, and underlying connections. It is an exhibition tailored for those seeking not only aesthetic intensity in contemporary art but also a substantial, resonant depth.

Exhibition duration: 1–31 May

Opening hours: Daily: 12:00–18:00.

Athens Urban Picnic 2026
2026-05-01 12:00 - 20:00 | Plato’s Academy Park, Monastiriou 138, Athens, Athens, 104 42, Greece
The Athens Urban Picnic is back, and for the fifth year in a row, we are keeping the tradition alive: May Day in the city starts on the grass! For the fifth year running, we are launching at our favourite annual hangout to welcome May exactly as it should be: outdoors, together, and under the glorious spring sun. So, dust off those picnic blankets and join us at Plato’s Academy Park—a historic green oasis which will once again transform into a giant, vibrant hug in the heart of the city, bursting with music, colour, and great fun.

If you’ve joined us before, you know the score: the Athens Urban Picnic is more of a “vibe” than just an event. It’s all about sprawling across the grass with your mates, spontaneous dancing, and the sound of kids’ laughter mixing with the music—all in all, living and breathing the city a little differently for the day.

What’s on the cards? Starting early in the morning, the city’s top radio producers will be spinning the perfect tracks to keep the energy high. Little ones can dive into a world of imagination through creative workshops, musical theatre, and interactive games throughout the park. As the sun begins to set, the mood gets even more magical with open-air screenings and that lovely “summer is coming” breeze.

It’s an experience that truly has it all: music, art, relaxation, and the best company in town. So, grab your mat, pack your hamper, put on your brightest smile, and help us kick off the This is Athens City Festival 2026. After all, spring in Athens is meant to be shared.

Natassa Metaxa: Light is Life
2026-05-01 12:00 - 20:00 | Art Project Space, 66 Falirou, Athens, 117 41, Greece
At the Art Project Space, Natassa Metaxa presents her solo exhibition, “Light is Life”. A collection that explores the profound, almost existential bond between light, nature, and the human form. In Metaxa’s work, light is far more than a visual detail; it is the vital force that sculpts each form and reveals a quiet, interior dimension of our existence.

Through compositions of striking emotional depth, the artist allows light and water to coalesce, embracing the body and transforming it into a vessel of sensitivity, warmth, and strength. Her figures seem to emerge from a place of stillness and inner reflection, inviting the viewer to engage not just with their eyes, but with their soul.

This is an exhibition that illuminates the hidden sides of the self, reminding us that, in the heart of the city, light truly is life.

Exhibition duration: 1–9 May

Opening hours: Tuesday 17:00–21:00, Thursday & Friday 12:00–20:00, Saturday 11:00–15:00. Closed on Sunday, Monday & Wednesday.

Marilia Fotopoulou: Iconostases
2026-05-01 12:00 - 20:00 | Ileana Tounta Contemporary Art Centre, 48 Armatolon-Klefton, Athens, 114 71, Greece
The Ileana Tounta Contemporary Art Centre presents “Iconostases”, a solo exhibition by Marilia Fotopoulou. This visual proposition turns its gaze toward a subject that is deeply familiar yet often bypassed in our daily lives: the roadside shrines encountered across the Greek landscape. The artist approaches these small, metallic markers of memory and faith not merely as elements of the scenery, but as vessels for personal histories, collective sensitivity, and profound cultural continuity.

Using the language of contemporary fine-art photography, the exhibition illuminates the relationship between the individual and the road, exploring themes of loss, memory, and the urban environment. Fotopoulou’s works do not simply document a characteristic Greek sight; they transform it into a field of observation and reflection. This is a show that invites us to look again at what we pass by every day, discovering within these shrines a unique weight of emotion, tradition, and silent witness. The exhibition works well the Eugenia Grigoraki’s exhibition, also on view at the gallery, giving you a broader perspective on this distinctive symbol of the Greek landscape.

Exhibition duration: 1–9 May

Opening hours: Tuesday, Thursday: 15:00–20:00; Wednesday, Friday: 12:00–20:00; Saturday: 12:00–16:00. Closed on Monday & Sunday.

Evgenia Grigoraki: Roadside Shrines
2026-05-01 12:00 - 20:00 | Ileana Tounta Contemporary Art Centre, 48 Armatolon-Klefton, Athens, 114 71, Greece
The Ileana Tounta Contemporary Art Centre presents a solo exhibition by Evgenia Grigoraki titled “Roadside Shrines”, a photographic series focusing on a familiar yet often overlooked element of the Greek landscape. Through a personal and direct lens, the artist approaches these shrines not merely as markers of memory and faith, but as small, paradoxical presences that persist in inhabiting public spaces—alongside roads, around bends, and throughout our daily commutes.

The strength of the exhibition lies in this experiential, almost tender observation. Under Grigoraki’s gaze, these shrines are transformed into objects of artistic exploration, highlighting their enduring stability and the specific meaning they continue to hold within Greek society. It is an exhibition that bridges the everyday gaze with folk tradition, inviting us to pause once more before one of the most characteristic and poignant sights of the Greek roadside. Presented alongside Marilia Fotopoulou’s exhibition, the show will offer you the chance to explore two different yet complementary photographic interpretations of the same subject.

Exhibition duration: 1–9 May

Opening hours: Tuesday, Thursday: 15:00–20:00; Wednesday, Friday: 12:00–20:00; Saturday: 12:00–16:00. Closed on Monday & Sunday.

Dimitris Rentoumis: Solo Exhibition
2026-05-01 12:00 - 20:00 | Crux Gallery, 4 Sekeri, Athens, 106 74, Greece
Crux Galerie presents the solo exhibition of Dimitris Rentoumis. Through his new series of works, the artist “dialogues” with the transient and fragile nature of paper, experimenting with the transition from a two-dimensional image to a three-dimensional variable materiality. He transforms paper surfaces into sculptural forms that occupy the space.

With a rich journey that includes studies at the Athens School of Fine Arts and the Netherlands, as well as participation in prestigious programmes such as Jan van Eyck and Onassis Air, the creator brings a proposal to Athens that balances the delicacy of the material with the dynamics of the installation.

This is a unique opportunity for the public to discover how paper can “breathe” and develop beyond the boundaries of the frame, creating a living visual environment.

Exhibition duration: 23 April – 30 May

Opening hours: Wednesday–Friday: 12:00–20:00; Saturday: 12:00–16:00. Closed on Monday, Tuesday & Sunday.

Protogenous Urban Market
2026-05-01 17:00 - 2026-05-03 23:00 | Protogenous Str., Protogenous Street, Athens, Athens, 105 54, Greece
Protogenous Street is a living example of the art of Athenian transformation, going from a narrow, downtown commercial lane into the ultimate destination for the city’s coolest subcultures. There’s something for everyone here: from niche record stores and skate shops to quirky hair salons, vintage furniture, and street food you won’t forget. It’s a place where everyone finds their spot.

But when the This is Athens City Festival arrives, Protogenous switches gears for three whole days. Once the shutters go down, the speakers go up, the street fills with people, and the urban landscape turns into one massive open-air party.

You can expect live gigs that’ll make you stop in your tracks, DJs keeping the beat going non-stop, street food on the go, impromptu markets, creative pop-ups, and surprises tucked away in every corner. For those forty-eight hours, the whole street becomes one big group of friends. You’ll find yourself dancing with strangers who feel like mates by the end of the night, drifting from stage to stage, beat to beat, and laugh to laugh.

These are the moments when Athens shows its most authentic side: open, spontaneous, creative, and completely up for a good time.

Christina Paraskevopoulou: Symbioses
2026-05-01 17:30 - 20:30 | Artshot – Sophia Gaitani, 11 Lempesi, Athens, 117 42, Greece
Christina Paraskevopoulou invites us to look at the world around us as if through a magnifying glass. In her latest body of work, titled “Symbioses”, the artist paints the hidden stories unfolding on the ground, in the seas, and along the shores where life continues quietly and magically.

Using ink and fine markers on paper, she creates intricate shapes and patterns that resemble living organisms or endless threads woven together. Her works are more than just images; they are an “ecological message” about the resilience of nature and the beauty of the microscopic life we so often overlook.

It’s an invitation to pause for a moment and lose yourself in a world full of colour and detail, discovering how everything in nature coexists, blooms, and renews itself.

Exhibition duration: 1–16 May

Opening hours: Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 17:30–20:30; Wednesday, Saturday: 12:00–15:00. Closed on Monday & Sunday.

Yoga Sessions
2026-05-02 11:00 - 13:00 | Rizari Park, Rizari 5, Athens, Athens, 106 76, Greece
Rizari Park is transforming into the quietest, yet most radiant, spot in the city. Think of it as a lush green sanctuary right in the heart of Athens, where time seems to slow down and the city’s daily hum just fades away behind the trees.

As part of the This is Athens City Festival, our Yoga Sessions are back, inviting you to roll out your mat on the grass and get in sync with your body and breath.

Athina Pappa: Angel Energy
2026-05-02 12:00 - 16:00 | Art Zone 42, Vasileos Konstantinou 42, Athens, 116 35, Greece
Art Zone 42 Gallery presents “Angel Energy”, the latest body of work by Athina Pappa. This exhibition marks a poignant transition from organic matter to the ethereal, shifting from recognisable forms toward a more internal, abstract experience. It is a natural evolution of her previous artistic explorations, this time carving out a more spiritual path where imagery is liberated from traditional shapes, operating instead through the interplay of colour, light, and rhythm.

In “Angel Energy”, figurative references recede, making way for expansive colour fields, rich textures, and repeating motifs that encourage the eye to move freely across the canvas. Rather than following a strict narrative, the exhibition offers a visceral experience; viewers are invited to find their own personal connection to themes of elevation, energy, and spiritual fluidity. It is a thoughtful artistic proposition that brings a sense of stillness, light, and internal shift to the heart of the city.

Exhibition duration: 2–15 May

Opening hours: Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 15:00–21:00; Wednesday, Saturday: 12:00–16:00. Closed on Monday & Sunday.
