Myrto Papadopoulos: Spirits Unseen
Photographer Myrto Papadopoulos travelled to the isolated villages of the Pomak minority in the Greek region of Thrace to meet and photograph the women of the community, whose husbands migrated in search of employment. Despite the Pomak community's patriarchal heritage, women have aspired to study, work, and adopt new roles beyond the confines of their society. Papadopoulos’ multimedia project, now on display at the Benaki Museum Pireos Annex, has two goals. Firstly, it examines the interaction between males and females, as well as how the latter attempt to self-identify. Secondly, it highlights the Pomak community's unknown, multilayered identity. If all this sounds intriguing, you might also want to check out Loukia Alavanou’s project Oedipus in search of Colonus.
