APOTHIKI

This is an art exhibition presented at the Public Art Gallery of Thessaloniki and Apothiki in Limnos.

              

An old symbol of a divine gift, wine spread in the Mediterranean area, claimed a prominent place in the traditions, beliefs and cults of the people, defined the area, the overall movement of goods and ideas, and became a unifying and integral element of cultures in the passage of centuries.

 

Through the works of 34 Greek artists “Wine Spirit”, attempts to combine in an original, inventive and imaginative way, ethnographic, geographic, historical, cultural, religious and daily references, all united through the theme of wine.
