Benaki Museum of Greek Culture | “Cahiers D’art, 100 Years: Through the Collections of the Benaki Museum.” | October 14, 2026–January 24, 2027
In 1926, the critic Christian Zervos founded the magazine Cahiers d’Art in Paris. By featuring archaeology, ethnography, and modern art in its issues—transcending geographical and temporal boundaries—it fostered a dialogue between works of art from ancient civilizations and works by artists such as Constantin Brancusi, Pablo Picasso, Le Corbusier, and Sigfried Giedion. Through the texts and black-and-white photographs on the magazine’s pages, the general public was introduced to a new perspective on modern art—one that transcends time and place.
To mark the 100th anniversary of the iconic magazine’s launch this year, the publishing house is organizing an international …More
My Mother Cast Me into the Sea | The hit show returns at Pireos 260
As part of the Athens Epidaurus Festival’s program titled “Fall – ECHOES,” which focuses on reviving/presenting some of its productions that still have untapped potential, Pireos 260 once again welcomes the play My Mother Cast Me into the Sea by Themis Panou and Vilia Hatzopoulou.
1950. On her first teaching assignment, a teacher leaves mainland Greece and travels to a small island in the Cyclades to teach at a one-room elementary school. This journey across the map sparks an inner monologue, born either of a pressing need or of a deep, previously unknown desire. It is, in any …More
The restored Hamza Bey Mosque is coming back to life in Thessaloniki
The restored Hamza Bey Mosque, known to the people of Thessaloniki as the “Alcazar,” was returned to the city by Minister of Culture Lina Mendoni, marking a new chapter in its history.
