Ki-nimata: Art promenade in Spetses
August 26, 2021–September 26, 2021The Bouboulina Museum. Coast of Saint Nicholas beach, Spetses
Eight female artists design their own contemporary flag
With the view to the bicentenary anniversary of the Greek Revolution of 1821, the group exhibition Ki-nimata invites eight female artists to design their own flag, inspired by the flag of Laskarina Bouboulina. The artists are invited to formulate their own contemporary proposal and create new symbols that portray our era. What would their personal flag look like in 2021?
The art promenade will take place from 26.08.2021 – 26.09.2021 at the most central road of Spetses, along the coast of Saint Nicholas beach, so they can be accessible.
The group exhibition Κι-νήματα aims at highlighting and examining the elements that represent a personal flag, paying tribute to the role of women in 1821 but also tracing the path of its evolution till today. The artists are turning their gaze to the past and delve into the historical development, while still maintaining a view to modern and contemporary reality. How would the historian of the future decode our current times?
After the end of the exhibition, the flags will remain as a legacy at the Bouboulina Museum, while in September an educational program will be implemented for a class of the primary school of Spetses.
