CEMES collaborates in “Democracy”, exhibition, Athens

The exhibition titled “Democracy” opened at the National Gallery of Art of Athens on 11 July 2024 and run to February 2, 2025, with the collaboration of CEMES and other institutions, and curated by Art Director Syrago Tsiara. It is the first large international exhibition that focuses on art in relation to democracy during one of the most defining times for the history of Southern Europe. Beyond Greece, the exhibition looks at the creativity that emerged as Spain and Portugal transitioned from an authoritarian regime to a democratic state, in collaboration with Spanish and Portuguese institutions: the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA), Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian (CAM), and CEMES- Centro de Estudos Multidisciplinares Ernesto de Sousa, as well as a number of private collections. CEMES has been present with a collection of posters and photos of Alternativa Zero and our presence at the opening. We have also been interviewd by the newspaper KATHIMERINH.
