Welcome to the Wall of Change. In a context of often overwhelming change, we want to explore what « change » means to people around the world. We asked them to illustrate this word using the technique of their choice (painting, drawing, collage, etc.), confronting them with a huge concept and a blank postcard. We’ve already collected over 140 postcards from 12 countries, and the adventure continues. The cards will be exhibited both physically in Ikaria, Greece, and digitally here. Symbols and patterns from different cultures will be analyzed.
Stay tuned for more!
