The exhibition “Lola Speak!” commemorates victims of femicide in Greece and internationally and challenges the victim blaming culture. Womxn all around the world are fighting for their right to make decisions for their own bodies, for equal pay, for safety and happiness. Our inner child wants to be happy, carefree and playful. Instead, we have to look behind our backs when walking home at night. And, for many of us, home is where we are most exposed, unprotected and stripped off our human dignity.
We fight, mourn, and most importantly celebrate life, so that we, our mothers, sisters and friends will lead lives of empowerment. Our unity changes the collective mindset and prompts the creation of social structures that will ensure equality beyond gender, race, physical challenges and immigration status.
The exhibited works were made with bedsheets donated by womxn that live in Greece, under the condition that they have used them to rest on them and dream of a safe world. The works’ visuals are referencing the Alphavitarion (ABC book) published in 1955, illustrated by K. Grammatopoulos.
The event is part of the WOW Athens Festival, presented for the second consecutive year by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC).
