“Unlocked Identities” International Art Exhibition

The “Unlocked Identities” exhibition showcases the perspectives of 21 immigrant artists from various backgrounds. Curated by Athens-based art curator Julia Sysalova, the exhibition examines how cultural codes shape and transform individual identities.

The featured artists explore their changing experiences through painting, photography, sculpture, and installations. They reflect upon how new cultural and social norms influence their artistic practices.
