Art Meets History: The “Athinas Street” Exhibition
Once again, the festival entrusts its artistic direction to renowned art historian Iris Kritikou.
More than 70 visual artists take part in the group exhibition “Athinas Street”, an artistic exploration of the history, memory, and ever-changing identity of one of Athens’ most distinctive streets.

Spanning every floor of the Olympias Building, it turns the historic venue into an integral part of the narrative, bringing the city’s past and present to life.
