"3771" in Orange Sailors Exhibition
"Orange Sailors" (2017) was a group exhibition organized by a group of young Greek creatives including Eleonora Levis, Marilena Petalidou, Ioanna Pamoukoglou and Calliope Pavlides. Their mission was to provide a platform to address issues like the Refugee crisis in the Mediterranean and the notion of dislocation and displacement. All sales from the project were donated to UNHCR Greece for the support of refugees. #withrefugees
