Presentation and discussion about the work of contemporary Greek photographers with Platon Rivellis

In Thursday’s Meetings, Platon Rivellis selects and presents contemporary Greek photographers - members of the "Photographic Circle", analyzes their artwork, and talks to them about their themes, approaches, and creative choices. The audience then asks questions and share thoughts on the photos shown.

The final presentation of the season will take place on June 13, 19:00 and will focus on the work of Platon Rivellis and Nana Karamagkioli.

The presentations will be delivered through Zoom with free participation for all with reservations.
