Exhibition to Commemorate Trailblazing Greek Poet Kiki Dimoula

Greece's Parliament Library is holding an exhibition to commemorate the pioneering existentialist poet Kiki Dimoula, who died on February 22, 2020.


Commemorating two years since the death of the trailblazing existentialist Greek poet Kiki Dimoula at the age of 88 on February 22, 2020, Parliament is presenting an exhibition dedicated to her life and work

Hosted in the south hall on the ground floor, the exhibition will comprise, among others, photographs, awards and correspondence between Dimoula and other important figures of the Greek arts and letters, but the highlight of the show is an unpublished poem by the multi-award-winning artist and academic.

 

The exhibits come from the archives of the Parliament Library and from her family’s own private collection of memorabilia. 

Among her many other accomplishments, Dimoula was the first-ever female poet to be represented by French publisher Gallimard

The exhibition opens on Tuesday 22 of February and will run for four months.
