One of our little boats traveled from Salamina to Athens, where it met Nektarios Theodorou, who won one of the five equal awards for Best Short Film with his film "Your hope is being forwarded". The meeting took place at Alma Mater, a space for Art, Culture, Work & Learning, where Foti Kllogjeri presented his first solo exhibition in Greece, dedicated exclusively to his watercolor works, titled "HORIZONS", curated by Paris Kapralos. We thank Elena Ttsitsigianni for the wonderful hospitality!
