The collective art exhibition entitled NEW ERA EAUDESEA with the participation of 16 Greek artists (Nicos Charalambidis, Dionisis Kavallieratos, Erato Hadjisavva, Irini Bazara, Christos Michaelides, Marina Provatidou, Hara Piperidou, Theo Laios, Vivi Panagiotou, Αrtemis Alcalay, Eleanna Martinou, Ioanna Kafida, Konstantinos Patsios, Ioannis Malegiannakis, Altin Patselis, Dionisis Christofilogiannis) will run from 10 to 24 March, 2016 in the exhibition hall of House of Cyprus.
Painters, artists, and sculptors undertake to approach and comment on, through the language and different forms of art, the phenomenon of refugees, the harsh sociopolitical reality of modern states, forced displacement of populations, the uprooting of people from their homes and the search for a new, safer, and peaceful space/place.
The artist Irini Bazara, who undertook the curation of the show, writes in her foreword “… This trip of the refugees is through the fluid passage of the sea. The liquid element is directly related to human life and birth, since life itself begins its journey through the liquid element of water.”
