Weekly Report/ Part 4
A poetry collection with the view of the Walls of Thessaloniki, a street art project with a unique soundtrack, the need to consume food in two entirely different ways. This week had connections and contrasts, similar and dissimilar elements. It had longing for something new and the familiar touch of something known, it had art, […]
On Fridays we Love Issue 12: Methexis
“A word comes to mind; my favorite songwriter often uses it…” Efi broke the silence of thirty-two people who seemed to be staring kind of lost at the PowerPoint presentation with scattered words and questions. Nefeli and Katerina Ch. looked at each other for a moment, before turning back to Efi. “Whisper it to me, […]
Between stops
On a ride with public transport in a foreign country enjoying the reality I lived in those few days, I started observing the world around me and making assumptions about where all of this is heading, where it came from. My goal is to create a game in my mind to spend my time pleasantly […]
“Normal people”
Like ordinary people, Conell and Marianne taught us what love really means and how one learns to truly experience it, away from toxicity and pettiness. A love that begins in adolescence and whether or not it follows you into your later adult life, you know that it will always find a place to rest within […]
What is the purpose of my existence?
The human brain processes and filters more than 70,000 thoughts in a day, including memories, future plans, emotions, stress and much more. The repeated and constant reminiscence of the past, fantasizing about the future, and the questions raised about the present is an everyday thing for many people. Indeed, it is human nature to constantly […]
Walking around with “uncomfortable” feelings
I am starting to notice, as I get older, that us humans tend to push away, or rather try to completely erase, emotions that are not so positive. Anger, pain, sorrow, fear, despair, chaos. We embrace and seek only the feelings that bring us euphoria and security, both physically as well as in our soul. And […]
On Fridays we Love Issue 10 pt.1: The players
What does theater mean to you? (they laugh simultaneously) Ilias: My favorite kind of questions. What is theater? What is theater for you, Vasilis? Vasilis: Can you repeat the question please? I: Yes, I’m buying time so I can think. For me theater is something different depending on the moment you are in life. V: I like theater. I […]
On Fridays we Love Issue 10 pt.2: The Players
6. The show is characterized as a farcical comedy. Do you think this particular style in this story has the power to convey messages better than a different text style would? Following that, how much does humor and the comic element ultimately affect our approach to how we perceive everything that happens around us? V: At […]
+1 chromosome… benefit and not a dissadvantage
Living in a world of image and appearance, we have an absurd demand from others – but also from ourselves – to be perfect in everything we do. Anyone who deviates from this so-called “perfection” and excellence, is automatically excluded from social events. What we forget though, is that none of us is truly “perfect” […]
Artemisia Gentileschi: A feminine Baroque touch
History is full of women’s cries drowned out… We do not forget, after all, all those women – even if we do not know who or precisely how many they were – whose achievements or skills have been forgotten, buried by the haughty gaze of patriarchy over the centuries. And probably there are so many […]
