SUMMARY:Climate Change: Too Many Calories
DESCRIPTION:This activity is available in Greek only.\nThe theatre group Noiti Grammi presents a performance on climate change that aims to offer an immersive experience and challenge audiences to rethink their relationship with the environment. A blend of theatre\, music\, dance and visual art unfolds in a space where viewers become active participants—interacting with actors\, animals and natural elements. \nSet inside a stunning neoclassical building—one of the first in Athens and now home to the City of Athens Gallery—the piece uses original ideas\, soundscapes and improvised rituals to deconstruct stereotypes and explore the deep connection between humans and the natural world. The goal is to make the climate crisis feel both personal and collective\, opening up new paths for dialogue. \nUnder the auspices and with the financial support of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture\, and the support of OPANDA (City of Athens Cultural\, Sports and Youth Organisation). \nConcept / Direction / Dramaturgy: Olga PozeliTexts:Sakis Serefas – LimericksDarrah Cloud – How to Deny Climate Change in 5 Easy StepsNoiti Grammi Theatre GroupScenography: Kostis DavarisOriginal Music: Giorgos AndriotisAssistant Director: Georgia TsakouPerformers (in alphabetical order):Goni Louka\, Vicky Kyriakopoulou\, Olga Pozeli\, Stevi FortomaProduction: Noiti Grammi Theatre Group

SUMMARY:Inuksuk: Light of the North in the Heart of Athens
DESCRIPTION:The Embassy of Canada invites you to a special celebration at Ilisia Grove\, as part of the This is Athens City Festival! We’re coming together to mark one year since the unveiling of the Inuksuk—a powerful symbol of friendship that connects Canada and Greece in the heart of Athens. Dedicated to the Indigenous cultures of Canada\, the event offers a unique opportunity to explore the story behind this landmark. We’ll be joined by Inuksuk artist Heather Carroll and a representative of the Inuit community\, who will share personal insights into the meaning and creation of the monument. The Inuksuk—a traditional stone marker used by the Inuit peoples of northern Canada to guide travellers and mark sacred places—was gifted to Athens in 2022 by the Embassy of Canada to celebrate 80 years of diplomatic relations. Designed by Heather Carroll\, who is of Inuit and European heritage\, the sculpture embodies both authenticity and a distinctly Athenian character. Unlike traditional Inuksuit made of irregular stones\, the Athenian Inuksuk is crafted from Pentelic marble—the same stone used for the Parthenon—paying tribute to classical Greek art. This material choice symbolises a rich encounter between Greek and Indigenous Canadian heritage. It also resonates with the meaning of the word Inuksuk: “in the likeness of a human.” Its presence in Athens honours both the city’s immense contribution to Western culture and the ancestral cultures of Canada. Join us in celebrating the first anniversary of this modern urban landmark\, officially unveiled in May 2023. Come hear the stories behind the Inuksuk from the artist herself and a member of the Inuit community\, as we renew the bonds of friendship that this symbol represents.

SUMMARY:Guided tour at the EMST in the exhibition: WOMEN TOGETHER
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek. \n\nThe exhibition “WOMEN\, TOGETHER” features works exclusively by women artists and takes a clear stance on a critical issue in both art history and contemporary society: the underrepresentation of women and the urgent need for action towards gender equality. While most of the works do not focus explicitly on womanhood\, they raise pressing questions around equality\, oppression and otherness. They engage with contemporary and historical sociopolitical narratives\, as well as aspects of personal and collective memory and identity.

SUMMARY:Group Exhibition: Abandoned Cartographies and Other Odd Hours

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:Vassilis Karakatsanis: Urban Tools
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\nOpening night: Thursday 8 May 2025\, 20:00 \n\nOpening hours: Tuesday\, Thursday & Friday: 12:00–21:00 Saturday: 12:00–15:00 Closed on Monday\, Wednesday and Sunday
