“Al Zekra”: Imprints of Memory

The exhibition Al Zekra by Sofia Zarari at the Angelos and Leto Katakouzinos Foundation traces a journey through memory and the body. The Arabic word translated as “memory” transforms into a carrier of knowledge and an imprint that re-emerges through matter. Zarari’s practice unfolds through connections with individuals, genealogies, sea routes, and migrations. Different places and times are inscribed within a shared sphere, where Ancient Athens, Kasos, Suez, Egypt, and the present form successive layers of a unified inner horizon.

“Straining Against the Frame” by Yorgos Papafigos at CYPHER Gallery

The independent gallery CYPHER presents a solo exhibition by Yorgos Papafigos, curated by Dinos Chatzirafailidis. Titled “Straining Against the Frame,” the exhibition introduces a new body of work in which the artist constructs hybrid systems around conditions of confinement, protection, and control. In Papafigos’ practice, CGI, 3D scanning, and printing transform the digital realm into sculptural matter and spatial experience. The focus shifts from the body being constrained to the structures that make such constraint possible. Material oscillates between the
