The main objective of the project is to go beyond the surface, represented by the postcard image of Athens, while also examining aspects of the Greek capital that haven’t yet been explored.

Each artist will be painting what Athens, the city from where the postcards were sent, awakens in her own creative vision. Greek Stella Sevastopoulos will centre on the flowers of antiquity, connecting nature and culture in the process; Italian Giusy Lauriola’s work will centre on the privileged position of the Hetaira in ancient Greek society, the myth of Erigone, and the role of women; and Serbian Merima Fetahovic will focus on the diverse faces of the Goddess Athena, which will be presented via a ceramic installation.
