Arhives of Trauma

Thirteen artistic practices, thirteen different narratives, one common question: how can the image function as a vehicle for memory, testimony, and the processing of trauma? The exhibition brings together works by female photographers from diverse geographical and cultural backgrounds, who explore trauma as both a personal experience and a collective historical footprint.

Curated by Penelope Petsini and Eleni Mouzakiti

Opening: Friday, 3 April, 19:00
Duration of the exhibition: April 3, 2026 – May 2, 2026
Opening Hours: Wed-Fri. 16:00-20:00 | Sat. 12:00-16:00

ENCOUNTERS

House of Lucie Athens proudly presents the group photography exhibition “Encounters”. The exhibition is curated by the artists.

Participating photographers:
Yannis Karpouzis
Gogo Ponirakou
Alexandra Riba
Vangelis Tatsis

The exhibition “Encounters” presents the dispersion of contemporary trends in Greek photography through the dialogue between the works of Yannis Karpouzis, Gogo Ponirakou, Alexandra Riba, and Vangelis Tatsis. The co-curation and co-organisation of the exhibition by the four participants allows each work to be presented separately and in its entirety, while also highlighting the active dialogue within the field of artistic photography in Greece. A dialogue that, while perhaps more lively and fruitful than ever, appears to be extremely limited at the institutional level (major museums, central galleries, magazines, etc.).

Opening: Thursday 19.02.2026 | 19:00-22:00
Duration of the exhibition: 19.02. – 28.03.2026
Οpening hours:
Wed.- Fri.| 16:00-20:00

COMMUNITIES

House of Lucie Athens proudly presents the group exhibition “Communities” curated by Penelope Petsini.

Communities
From the indigenous tribes of the Omo Valley and the monastic communities of Palestine, to the urban North, the elderly migrants from the British Commonwealth, and the “invisible” second-generation migrant youth in Greece, the exhibition Communities explores community as a field of relationships, memory, power, and continuous redefinition.
An exhibition about belonging and exclusion, and forms of collective life in a world in constant transformation.

Opening: Thursday 08.01.2026 | 19:00-22:00
Duration of the exhibition: 08.01. – 14.02.2026

INTERLUDES by Angela Svoronou

We are delighted to announce Interludes (2003–2019), a solo exhibition by Angela Svoronou, opening on Thursday, October 23, 2025, from 19:00 to 22:00.

Through her staged portraits, Svoronou captures moments suspended between stillness and motion — intimate, absorptive scenes where everyday people appear immersed in their worlds, unaware of the viewer’s gaze. Her approach, inspired by Jeff Wall’s concept of the “absorptive mode,” transforms ordinary moments into quiet narratives that invite viewers to wander freely within each frame.

Exhibition duration: October 23 – November 22, 2025
Opening hours: Wed–Fri 16:00–20:00 | Sat 12:00–16:00
