On Friday, June 2nd, the show “Our Town” hosted Loukia Alavanou.
The artist discussed the connection between her work and the new technologies, in which she has been a pioneer in Greece, her first creative steps as well as the important awards she has received. She represented Greece at the latest Venice Biennale with the film-audio installation “On the Road to Kolonos”, which received excellent reviews, gaining the interest of visitors.
