CITY STREETS
Nov 15th, 2007 by admin
An exhibition showing the diversity of cultures living in Athens recently opened in the capital. Fourteen photographers explored the city for 14 months, recording images in a place that is constantly changing face, capturing through their lenses everyday images of life in the city.
The exhibition was organized by the Hellenic Migration Policy Institute and The British council, Anastasia Andritsou, Head of Creativity and Society at the British Council says the aim of the exhibition was to capture the new faze of Athens and to provide a platform to visitors to view the multicultural dialogue about the new city, its new style and culture. In these images people are seen walking in the streets, people passing by, we didn’t want to put a stamp of an immigrant, a Greek we simply wanted to show a co-existence in the pictures. Though there is nothing childish about the result considering that most of the works were by a group of select students from 10 schools.
Every photograph carries a surprise with a breath of fresh air. Some of the best picks at this ambitious program have been put on display at the heart of this world, at Eynardou Mansion, the seat of the National Bank Cultural foundation Foundation. The exhibition titled “City Streets” will head for Thessaloniki and Brussels in January.
