Description
The action is implemented in the framework of the #MeNow_MeToo (www.menowmetoo.gr) initiative in collaboration with Olympic champion Sofia Bekatorou.
During the exhibition, there will be a book presentation titled "Her Voice," by the feminist women writer group, Her Voice. Sissy Doutsiou will be reading parts of her story, including those featured in the book with the title "The Tanner."
Through works of art, speeches, theatrical events and workshops, the aim of the European Anti-Violence Network is to raise concerns and narrate stories of women or artists who want to present them through art and visual creation.
More than 20 artists participate in the exhibition with works of art (paintings, photographs, theatrical events, etc.). In the exhibition area there will also be a bazaar with handmade items of women survivors of domestic violence and/or sexual violence as well as volunteers of the European Anti-Violence Network.
The exhibition will be open to the public from 13.30 to 21.30. Admission is free. Saturday and Sunday afternoons there will be events (speeches, theatrical performances, discussion)
