The Violence of Austerity in Greece – Photo exhibition

Photos by Marios Lolos, president of the Greek Union of Photojournalists, Dimitris Michalakis, Yiannis Karabatsos, Yiannis Biliris and the archive of the newspaper Avgi, document the effects of austerity measures on the Greek society. The exhibition will also host the collection of photos #MAT1236 showing the police brutality in Greece.

Citizens struck by poverty and hunger, massive protests against a life of despair and cities enveloped in tear gasses have become the prevailing image of contemporary Greece – member of a European community whose leaders place austerity at the top of their political agenda.

The photos will be on display only for one day, Saturday 25th May from 12:00 to 20:00 at:

NL Studio’s
Lijnbaansstraat 17-I
Jordaan, Amsterdam

Captions and explanatory texts will be also available.

During the exhibition the documentary films “15’ Antifascism – Repression – Torture” and “Casus Belli” will be screened in the loop and the short film “Into the Fire” will be screened at 14:00 and at 18:00.

Entrance is free.
