[01] 42nd round of Greek-Turkish exploratory talks on Wednesday in Athens

[02] 'Face to Faces' photography exhibition

"Face to Faces" is an international joint exhibition of modern art, having France as its starting point. It constitutes part of the broader action entitled 'Dialogues d'Images' (Image Dialogues) and is an initiative of the 'Culturesfrance', an institution of the French Ministries of Culture and Foreign Affairs (previously known as AFAA or Association Francaise d'Action Artistique).

The objective of this action is to establish an 'intercultural' dialogue among artists who live or work in France, with artists from other countries, on the common thematic of (self)portrait. The foreign artists are: Alain Bublex, Nan Goldin, Cecile Hartmann, Hans Hemmert, Suzanne Lafont, Dominik Lejman, Yuki Onodera, Roman Opalka, Orlan, Philippe Ramette, Francois Rousseau, Yann Toma, Jean Luc Vilmouth, Kimiko Yoshida.

The original 'body' of this exhibition tours around the world while, each time it is presented in a country, it gets further enhanced with the work of artists from that host country. The selection of the works has been made by two curators - the one of the touring exhibition and another from each host country. No need to mention that the aesthetic result is different each time.

At the Thessaloniki Museum of Photography, along with the works of the original 'body', there will be presented works of the Greek photographers: Manolis Baboussis, Venia Bechraki, Athina Chroni, Christina Dimitriadis, Pavlos Fysakis, Georgios Katsaggelos, Panos Kokkinias, Evangelia Kranioti, Eleni Maligoura, Eleni Mouzakiti, Lia Nalbantidou and George Prinos.

The Curator on the part of Greece is Angeliki Grammatikopoulou, while Curator on the part of the international participants is Ésabelle de Montfumat.

The exhibition is co-organised by the State Museum of Contemporary Art, Thessaloniki Museum of Photography, Culturesfrance, the General Consulate of France in Thessaloniki, and the French Institute of Thessaloniki.

[03] KKE leader in Patras

The topics of the gathering were the results of the recent European Parliament elections, political developments and the KKE's position.

Commenting on the high abstention percentage in the Euroelections, Papariga noted that the abstention was "expressed with a political background, disgruntlement but also with the delusion that the parties will change".

On the KKE's showing, she said that the Euroelections outcome was positive for the party while, addressing herself to the party's cadres, members and friends, she urged them to be prepared, because "the time of national elections is near at hand".

Papariga further criticised ruling New Democracy (ND) and main opposition PASOK of having lost their ability to convince, but having succeeded in passing on the perception that their policy is the only way.
