A Day at the Alekos Fassianos Museum
2025-05-18 11:00 - 15:00 | Alekos Fassianos Museum, Neofytou Metaxa 15, Athens, Athens, 104 39, Greece
On the occasion of International Museum Day, the Alekos Fassianos Museum offers free admission to the residents and visitors of the city. The exhibition aims to introduce the breadth of Alekos Fassianos’ work, featuring pieces from 1954 until the end of the artist’s life.

The exhibition includes early works from the 1960s, showcasing his abstract style from his early years in Paris, works influenced by Byzantine art, collages, mixed media, as well as both less-known and widely recognized paintings that capture Fassianos’ distinctive touch. The Myth of His Neighborhood unfolds through works that depict images and experiences from his childhood in Agios Pavlos, the neighborhood where he grew up, and his wanderings through Athens. Heroes from his childhood intertwine with figures from Greek mythology, creating the timeless hero—the human being. Beyond the paintings, the exhibition also aims to highlight Fassianos’ multifaceted personality by showcasing handmade objects, furniture, lighting, as well as texts he wrote, books he illustrated, and a rich archival collection of his involvement in set design and costume design for Aristophanes’ comedies and Eugène Ionesco’s plays.

The exhibition is displayed within a handcrafted architectural creation by Kyriakos Krokos, where every detail, from the door knobs to the cupboard handles, the nails in the mirrors, to the frescoes and mosaic floors, is curated by Fassianos himself. The Alekos Fassianos Museum holds significant importance for the contemporary artistic and architectural map of Athens, being one of the few museums in the world where the collaboration between the artist and architect fosters a dialogue between the works and the space that houses them.

First Cemetery of Athens: An Open-Air Sculpture Gallery II
2025-05-18 17:00 - 19:00 | First Cemetery of Athens, Logginou 3, Athens, Athens, 116 36, Greece
This activity is only available in Greek.

Archaeologist and guide Michalis Giohalas leads a tour through the sculpture garden of the First Cemetery of Athens, in collaboration with the This is Athens City Festival.

Beyond the Sleeping Female Figure
The tomb of Sofia Afentaki—immortalised by Yannoulis Chalepas in his iconic sculpture The Sleeping Female Figure—is the most recognisable work in the First Cemetery of Athens. But it is by no means the only one worth discovering.

This walk follows an alternative route, away from the central and well-trodden paths, to uncover a quieter yet equally captivating side of Athens’ open-air sculpture gallery. Along its uphill alleys, we’ll encounter the mausoleums of illustrious figures—spaces where mortals converse with immortals, and grand visions of legacy meet the silence of eternity.

Apprenticeship Walk: 20 plus 1 Stops
2025-05-18 18:00 - 19:30, 2025-05-19 18:00 - 19:30 | National Garden, Vas. Amalias 1, Athens, Athens, 105 57, Greece
This activity is only availble in Greek.

Officially designated a historic site, the National Garden (formerly the Royal Garden) is a calm eye in the storm of central Athens—a space of serenity surrounded by the city’s intensity, steeped in memory and history. Among the 500 species of plants brought here from around the world under Queen Amalia’s watchful eye, marble figures wait quietly: Dionysios Solomos, Aristotle Valaoritis, Jean Moréas, Ioannis Kapodistrias and Ioannis Eynard—emblematic figures from an era of visionary leadership in Greece. In this poetic promenade, writer-director Thodoris Gonis invites audiences to follow the traces of these permanent Garden residents—poets, politicians, botanists and engineers—through the documents, letters and texts that shaped the garden’s story. At its heart is the 20-year-old queen who once dreamt it into being.

Concept & Direction: Thodoris Gonis

Dramaturgy: Thodoris Gonis, Eleni Stroulia

Costumes: Matina Megkla

Cast: Eleni Ouzounidou, Thanasis Dimou, Roxani Karfi, Christina Chalkia

Athens All Star Party
2025-05-18 18:00 - 23:00 | Lycabettus Theatre Parking Lot, Lycabettus Hill, Athens, Athens, 114 71, Greece
The ultimate pilgrimage for Athens’ night owls. A legendary open-air gathering where dance crews, music collectives, locals and visitors climb high above the city to party under the stars. With sweeping views and even bigger beats, this hilltop parking lot transforms into the capital’s most electric dancefloor — for one night only.

The Athens Festival
2025-05-18 18:00 - 23:00 | Koumoundourou Square, Πλ. Κουμουνδουρου, Athens, Athens, 105 53, Greece
In the setting of the panigyri (traditional festival), songs and dances are reborn and shared in the joy of celebration—in a spirit that connects memories and identities, shared emotions and reflections. Through the participation of all, music and dance become a collective experience.
The musical group Gyalí Kafené project seeks to unite times and places, transforming the past into the present… in a circular dance of musical colours and scents. Its members are acclaimed performers rooted in Greek tradition, blending elements of rebetiko with entechno (artful Greek song) and contemporary influences. Their work forms a creative musical dialogue between “us and the others,” distinguished by freshness, vitality and groove.

CONQUISTADORS
2025-05-19 10:00 - 18:00, 2025-05-20 10:00 - 18:00 | Macart’s Cultural Space, Lenorman 244, Athens, Athens, 104 43, Greece
Nikos Kyriakopoulos and his conquistadors disembark on Lenorman Street.

Dragons and wild beasts, locals and conquistadors—and even Death himself—battle deep in untrodden jungles.

The 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.

Opening: Thursday 8 May 2025, 19:30–23:00

Opening hours: Monday to Friday: 10:00–18:00 Saturday: 11:00–15:00 Closed on Sunday

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.

Opening hours: Monday – Friday: 11:30–14:30 & 17:30–20:30 Saturday: 11:30–15:00

The exhibition showcases pieces created during their 2024 artist residency at the French Lodging in Rhodes, organised by the French Institute of Greece. Their creations engage in a dialogue with the museum’s permanent collections, reflecting the myths and ceramic heritage of Rhodes through a contemporary lens. Through their work, the artists share impressions and personal narratives inspired by their time on the island—reconnecting modern expression with tradition and the historical context that shaped it.

How to Fit Inside the City
2025-05-20 12:00 - 20:00 | Athens Gallery7, Solonos 20, Athens, Athens, 106 73, Greece
The work of Haris Baskozos is compelling not only for its final forms but also for the sources of inspiration behind them. The artist studied architecture at the National Technical University of Athens and fine arts at the Athens School of Fine Arts. When drawing from his background in architecture, his work leans toward a rectilinear style that echoes urban planning and evokes a kind of “emotional Mondrian.” In these compositions, consciousness seems to take the lead. In contrast, when his fine arts training prevails, his work shifts towards a freer, more instinctive expression, dominated by human-like forms and influenced by art brut, where the unconscious plays the central role. In both cases, the final result is not a strict monologue of either approach, but rather a dialogue—one side mostly leading, the other echoing through. In this way, Baskozos offers a fascinating visual argument: the idea of collectivity (the city) tends to be shaped through a more conscious process, while reflections on individuality (the human being) emerge through the unconscious.

Opening hours: Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 12:00–20:00 Wednesday & Saturday: 12:00–16:00

Vassilis Karakatsanis: Urban Tools
2025-05-20 12:00 - 21:00 | Genesis Gallery, Ippokratous 121, Athens, Athens, 114 72, Greece
Vassilis Karakatsanis invites us on a journey through the spectrum of contemporary existence—a complex, ever-evolving interplay of memories, collective narratives and social dynamics. His exhibition Urban Tools unfolds as a compelling dialogue between past and present, the personal and the monumental. Seven large-scale paintings, accompanied by numerous smaller works—created using acrylic, oil and gouache on canvas—invite a deep exploration of life in all its textures and tones. At the heart of Karakatsanis’ practice lies a transcendent inner process shaped by memory and materiality. The exhibition title hints at the hidden mechanisms that define a place’s essence: the subtle, often invisible tools that help us navigate, define and interpret the environments we inhabit—as well as those that shape and compose our very being. The urban landscape is not only his subject matter; it becomes his medium. Each brushstroke reveals the layered relationship between its singularity and the stories it holds. Symbols of personal and collective identity, ideology and emotion are interwoven into the fabric of daily life.

Opening night: Thursday 8 May 2025, 20:00

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

A sensory journey from the city to nature, familiarizing us with the daily life of a beekeeper and the precious work of bees.

The public, through touchless interaction, will be able to activate the installation – without stings, of course! We just need to have our “antennae” open to hear the Bees.
