“Caryatids” Photo Exhibition Opens In Athens

Photographer and Visual Artist Amalia Sotiropoulou pays homage to the six sage women who hold up Athens. Her latest show channels the quiet resilience of the Spartan maidens against a backdrop of modern Athens.

Borrowing the Caryatids from their sacred porch at the Acropolis, Sotiropoulou reminds the world that, even in crisis-mired Athens, the profound imagery of these ancient women scream relevance, determination and strength.

Sotiropoulou’s solo photography exhibition “Caryatids” will open Tuesday 11 June at Skoufa Gallery in Athens at 7:30pm. Exhibition runs until 6 July.

The exhibition will also open in Boston, U.S., on Thursday 13 June at the French Cultural Center (53 Marlborough Street) at 6:30pm.
