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\u2014alongside roads, around bends, and throughout our daily commutes.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe strength of the exhibition lies in this experiential, almost tender observation. Under Grigoraki\u2019s 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\u2019s exhibition, the show will offer you the chance to explore two different yet complementary photographic interpretations of the same subject.\r\n\r\n<strong>Opening hours:<\/strong> Tuesday, Thursday: 15:00\u201320:00; Wednesday, Friday: 12:00\u201320:00; Saturday: 12:00\u201316:00.
