Description

Associate Professor Erato Hatzisavva of the Athens School of Fine Arts curates an innovative and contemporary multimedia approach to some of the most famous masterpieces of European art: works which deal with the Goddess of beauty, love, fertility and sacred harlotry, Aphrodite. At the same time, 15 Cypriot graduates of the Athens School of Fine Arts offer, with E. Hatzisavva’s help, their own renderings of Aphrodite through the Homeric works, curated by the art historian Leda Kazantzaki.

The exhibition is accompanied by a series of events focused on the Goddess of Beauty and the rich cultural dimension of her myth. Sotiris Karagiorgis has written music for prose and poetry on Aphrodite, edited by Professor Giorgos Georgis of Neapolis University of Pafos, which will be presented through screenings, recitals and discussions.
