FokiaNou Art Space is pleased to present a two-person show curated by Norwegian Kjell-Erik Ruud, bringing a Norway-based artist into the space with a Greek artist, contrasting media as well as perpectives.

According to Ruud, in the midst of this chaotic time, with threats from the east and west, war and hardship, we need something that shows us what binds us together. These connections emerge in the encounter between two entirely different artistic expressions. "Between Threads" is an exploratory approach between two completely different art forms, involving two women who are at very different stages of life and geographically located at opposite ends of Europe.

Originally from Kurdistan, Kwestan Jamal Bawan presents an installation entitled “Needle as Pencil II” in which she embroiders fabric using her own and her children’s hair. She stitches her life, which is gradually changing, much like watching a film in slow motion. It is a journey from Kurdistan through Europe to Norway; now her embroideries are the ones traveling.

The threads connecting these artworks indeed weave a deeper understanding of the era we are in. Women who lead the way by using their language, or in this case, art, to convey powerful messages are essential voices in contemporary culture.

Konstantina Lazaridou, a recent graduate of Athens School of Fine Arts, hails from Florina. Her ceramic tiles possess a compelling strength; when assembled, they create a cohesive narrative, yet each tile also tells its own story. When these tiles, initially placed in the streets of Athens, are placed within an exhibition space, it introduces an interesting dynamic. The transition from street art to a more traditional gallery setting prompts viewers to engage in a different kind of dialogue. In a gallery, the context shifts from public to private, which can influence how people perceive the work. The interaction with other art forms can enhance or alter the impact of her ceramic pieces. This juxtaposition presents opportunities for deeper conversations about themes such as identity, community, and the role of women in art. Ultimately, it raises questions: How does the environment shape our understanding of art, and what stories emerge from different artistic expressions?

We need hope, we need moments of absence from fear, we need art.

FoKiaNou Art Space is an artist-run project space in the intimacy of a small apartment in an old building in the center of Athens.  The apartment has been transformed into an open space that encourages collaborative creative efforts between Greek and foreign artists, thereby promoting and supporting the local art community.  The space hosts exhibitions, workshops and projects under the direction of two artists, Mary Cox and Panagiotis Voulgaris. 

THEATRE OF THE NO, Athens' first English-speaking theatre, presents a unique jazz night featuring  «Kontrafouris Baby Trio», a band celebrated for its energy and innovative sound. Led by the renowned Hammond organ virtuoso George Kontrafouris, the trio features a rotating lineup of young musicians, bringing fresh enthusiasm and dynamic performances to the stage.  Οn Saturday 15th March at 22:30

Founded in 2009, Kontrafouris Baby Trio serves as a musical expression workshop, capturing the enthusiasm and joy of playing in a band for the first time. The ensemble acts as a "school" for emerging musicians, who, upon reaching the age of 25, pass the torch to the next generation, ensuring continuous renewal and freshness in the band's sound.

George Kontrafouris, a mentor to generations of Greek jazz musicians with an illustrious international career, has collaborated with legendary artists such as Mark Johnson, Arild Andersen, Marcus Stockhausen, Louisiana Red, Keith Copeland, Andy Sheppard, Ralph Peterson Jr., Bob Brozman, Carla Cook, Alvester Garnett, David Liebman, Houston Person, Eric Alexander, Benny Golson, Tim Hagans, Sheila Jordan, and many more. In addition to performing, he has taught jazz piano and organ at the Ionian University, Athenaeum Conservatory in Greece, and the Sibelius Academy in Finland, as well as leading workshops in Greece, Ireland, Indonesia, and Estonia.

Halkidiki, March 4, 2025 – On the stunning peninsula of Sithonia, where the lush green slopes meet the endless blue of the Aegean Sea, Porto Carras Grand Resort is preparing to host the successful Porto Carras Pro-Am AEGEAN Mini Tour 2025, which will bring together golfers from all over the world. From May 20 to May 25, 2025, professional and amateur golfers will have the opportunity to enjoy a unique combination of competitive action and relaxation in one of the most spectacular landscapes in Greece.

The participants will be competing in a magnificent natural environment, in a luxury complex that offers exceptional facilities and unparalleled hospitality, ideal for those seeking top-class relaxation and sporting experiences.

The Porto Carras golf course, the only one in Northern Greece with 18 holes and a par 72, offers panoramic views of the AEGEAN Sea and the dense pine forests of Mount Itamos. Participants will enjoy an unforgettable game in an idyllic setting, including lush vineyards, three serene lakes, towering pine trees, and century-old olive trees.

After last year’s success, the upgraded course will once again host a Pro-Am tournament that is expected to be highly competitive, as professional athletes will have the opportunity to compete for total prize money of up to 16,500 euro, adding excitement and interest to the event.

The event’s first official practice session will take place on Wednesday, May 21, at Porto Carras Grand Resort, which was awarded as the top golf hotel in Greece at the Greek Hospitality Awards 2024. On Thursday, May 22, and Friday, May 23 the 1st and 2nd rounds of the Pro-Am tournament will be held respectively, while on Saturday, May 24 the action will conclude with the open tournament for professionals and the individual for amateurs.

Members of the Greek national team from 2004 and current Champions for Life are returning to a…golf course!

For another year, the exciting FootGolf could not be missing from the activities of the event, offering a unique experience that combines the magic of football with the technique of golf. With the support of the Official Airline of the tournament, AEGEAN, the legendary Greek footballers who made history by winning Euro 2004, thrilling all of Europe, return to the field, this time with a different goal: to shoot the football balls into the specially designed holes of FootGolf!

What makes this action stand out is the clever combination of elements and rules from two different sports, creating a game that requires strategy, technique and precision. FootGolf is played on specially designed courses where players, following the rules of golf, hit the football with their feet in order to put it in the hole with the fewest possible strokes. The whole experience offers an exciting challenge for the athletes.

The CEO of Porto Carras, Mr. Sergei Smirnov said: “We are very excited to welcome again the top Porto Carras Pro-Am AEGEAN Mini Tour 2025 golf tournament at the magnificent Halkidiki. Porto Carras Grand Resort is the ideal destination for athletes and guests who wish to combine competitive action with moments of relaxation.
