On Monday, November 4, from 19:00 to 20:00, the show Our Town will feature Maria Mamaliga.
The talented author and film professor at the Athens School of Fine Arts will be in the studio to discuss her new book, Mercado. Through the pages of her book, she brings her unique homeland, Rhodes, to life, spanning the period from the winter of 1943 to the fall of 1947. This era covers Rhodes’ transition from Italian administration to German occupation.
In this journey, the book’s Sephardic heroine comes of age (Rhodes, Auschwitz, Istanbul), experiencing profound events that the author portrays with great skill.
Singer Soli Iohana will perform Sephardic songs live in the studio.
Maria Mamaliga will also discuss her film-related activities, including the screenings she is currently curating at Peiraios 256. She’ll share insights on her favorite cities and journeys, as well as her thoughts on literature, music, and theater.
