Athens is changing. The climate crisis, drought, fires and tree diseases are transforming the city and its natural environment. Palm trees, plane trees, mulberries, pines and cypresses are disappearing, while heat and drought are becoming the new normal. At the same time, overtourism and relentless urban development are putting additional pressure on the already burdened urban fabric.The city is drowning under the volume of visitors, the neighborhoods are changing character, the residents are being displaced, while new apartment buildings and hotel complexes are springing up in every corner of the basin, covering every trace of free land.

The group exhibition "Athens under Pressure"emerged from an open to artists of all media, inviting them to respond creatively to this theme. The invitation served as a stimulus for a collective artistic dialogue around the city and its shifts, environmental, social, spatial, psychological. The exhibition invites the public to ask themselves: How do the climate crisis, overtourism and the building boom affect our lives, everyday life, psychology and our shared experience of Athens? Can art speak to what we live? With works that record, comment, resist or envision, “Athens Under Pressure” brings together multiple perspectives on a city at a critical crossroads, a city that is changing faster than we can comprehend.

• Thursday, December 11: The rock energy of Georgia Kefala, frontwoman of Ble, and the avant-garde, experimental artist Ody Icons from Cyprus join forces in a night balancing old-school vibes and futuristic sounds.

With a “Move On Up” attitude, Jerome Kaluta and his band promise an unrepeatable musical experience across these two exclusive nights — an event not to be missed!

• Odysseas Apostolopoulos: Keys / Vocals

Come and laugh! Nay! Come and chortle. Or better yet, guffaw!

With Skevi Erotokritou, Photographer and Owner of Amore Spritzeria

Communication is a core pillar of The Euphoria Series as the quality of our communication shapes the quality of our relationships at work and beyond. It influences how we collaborate, how we lead, how we express needs and boundaries, and how we create trust in the spaces around us.

In this circle, we'll discuss

• how clearly we express ourselves
• the conversations we avoid and why
• habits that support or block understanding
• awareness of our internal state and how it impacts the way we communicate
• the gap between what we feel and what we communicate
• how communication shapes trust and collaboration in professional life
• how we navigate the space between what we say, what we mean, and what the other person hears
• how old communication patterns show up in new situations unless we consciously shift them
• how communication opens the door to repair when tension or misunderstanding has built up

This session is dedicated in clearing up things so we enter the holidays feeling lighter.

Discussions will be moderated by Penelope Dimitrakopoulou.

The Euphoria Circles are monthly evenings of mentoring, group coaching, and Curated and led by Penolope Dimitrokopouls, Professional and Executive Coach & guidor practice.

Each circle follows a two-part format:

• Mentoring with a guest professional who brings insight and inspiration
• Guided discussion, group coaching, and practical exercises led by Penelope, to translate ideas into personal growth and actionable change

Themes include leadership, stress management, team building, identity, and wellbeing.

Participants may join single sessions or commit to the full journey for deeper impact.

One-on-one coaching is also available at a special reduced rate, recommended for those who wish to explore the themes further.
