Το Athens Jazz έρχεται στην Athens Technopolis κι εμείς είμαστε έτοιμοι να ζήσουμε μια απίστευτη μουσική εμπειρία!

Ειδικά φέτος που το 23ο Athens Jazz έρχεται στη μεγαλύτερη έως τώρα εκδοχή του, καθώς περιλαμβάνει δύο ξεχωριστά opening και closing shows, το κλίμα γιορτής θα πλημμυρίσει για εννέα ημέρες την καρδιά της πόλης!
Και φυσικά, από τη μεγάλη αυτή γιορτή δεν γίνεται να λείπουν οι παράλληλες εκδηλώσεις που θα απογειώσουν και φέτος τη φεστιβαλική εμπειρία.

"Unique" | METApolis photography exhibition
Δευτέρα 27 Μαΐου – Κυριακή 2 Ιουνίου
Technopolis | Purifier
This year, the METApolis photography team is presenting the exhibition "Unique", a diverse collection that showcases the introspection and negotiation of the city's identity. More than 130 photographers offered their works to this special exhibition, commemorating 15 years of the team's efforts. The exhibition is a journey through street photography, staged photography, the urban landscape, and the urban environment. Each image captures the concept of uniqueness, inspired by this year's title, in any possible interpretation it may have in art, including originality, innovation, personal expression, emotional connection, and environmental sensitivity.
