AKROVOLISTES
10.07 — 11.07.2026
19.00
Description
The AKROVOLISTES project focuses on the historical presence of the Senegalese Riflemen (Tirailleurs Sénégalais) in Florina during the First World War. The project aims to offer a poetic interpretation of the experiences of the young soldiers who were forcibly recruited from West Africa and sent to the Balkans to serve on the front lines, while tracing their journey alongside the historical events that shaped the cultural past, present, and future of the local populations of Macedonia.
Curated by Christina Petkopoulou, the exhibition and its public programme seek to create a space for memory and reflection through a series of newly commissioned works. These include a photographic series, a collection of archival interventions and archival installations by visual artist and photographer Giannis Chatziaslanis, a sound performance by visual artist Maria Sideri in collaboration with musician Antonis Kostopoulos, and educational theatre workshops led by theatre educator Chara Lioliou.
