We have received an invitation from the Mayor’s Office in Athens to present an exhibition titled “Footprint-Apotipoma.” The show will take place in the galleries of the new Serafio Sports, Culture and Innovation Center in the heart of Athens during the important UNESCO World Book Capital 2018 event. The exhibition is curated and organized by Vasia Deliyianni.

“Footprint- Apotipoma” is a large-scale site specific exhibition, workshops, dialogue, and performance
using saris, printmaking and video on the issues of climate change and migration. “Footprint” uses the arts to activate awareness about climate change and trigger people to reduce their carbon footprint and to build global trans-border communities through collaboration and conversation between people in Washington DC and its sister city of Athens. The project collaborates with artists, curators, writers, poets, migrants, and non-artists in Athens. A special workshop with refugee women will take place on July 12 from 6 – 9 pm.

The show is supported in part by a generous grant from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, which is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. We are grateful to the Mayor’s Office in Athens for its support as well.
