CITY STREETS PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
Our City Streets photography exhibition showcases the work of the *14 young photographers (18–30 years old) who won our City Streets Photography Competition last year, and went on to participate in a series of workshops led by acclaimed Greek photographer Nikos Economopoulos. The result? A photographic record of the new, multicultural face of Athens and of the stories of people living in the Greek capital – people who speak different languages and have diverse origins and cultures, but who all share a common reality in their new home.

*Argyropoulou Emmanuela, Canaj Enri, Georgas Evangelos, Katsarou Ioanna, Kourbela Anastasia, Matsoukas Fotis, Nemat Ullah Hassan, Nikoloba Marina, Posnakidou Chryssa, Simos Yannis, Stefanou Christos, Vidali Maria, Zavallis Achilleas, Zochiou Vanessa.

Artistic Director: Nikos Economopoulos.
Scientific Advisor: Nadina Christopoulou.

FNAC STREET EXHIBITION
Fnac is bringing part of the City Street Exhibition onto the streets of Athens, where it will present some of the work of our 14 young photographers, along with the work of pupils from 10 selected secondary schools in areas of Athens with high immigrant populations. The pupils participated in workshops under the guidance of the photographer Kamilo Nollas, whose aim was to equip them with the skills needed to capture life in their neighbourhood on camera.

BIG STATE STREET THEATRE
We have commissioned Big State Theatre to design a street theatre piece on the themes of identity and multiculturalism which will be performed outside the two exhibition venues in Athens.

WORKSHOPS
Kamilo Nollas will lead a new series of photography workshops to familiarise secondary school pupils with the technology of digital photography, while Nancy Toubakari’s music workshops link the exhibition photos to rap, the music of hip hop culture. The participants will be secondary school pupils and their teachers.

If you would like more information or are interested in participating, please contact Nikolaos Alexandris by phone on 210 369 2337 or by e-mail at Nikolaos.Alexandris@britishcouncil.gr.
