Self-Portrait Photo Exhibition 'To Know Us Better'

The Rethymno Photography team invites you to a special outdoor photo exhibition called "Get to Know Us Better." The theme is self-portraiture June 27th - July 28th, 2024

The exhibition features 30 photographers, each with one self-portrait photograph. Through their unique perspectives, they aim to send a creative message and express their authentic selves.

This is a great opportunity for locals and visitors to enjoy these personal artworks displayed in a central location during the  Cretan Diet Festival.

The exhibition opening will take place on Thursday, June 27th at 8:00 PM.

Exhibition Curator Manolis Karatarakis explains the significance of self-portraiture "While the 'selfie' captures a moment meant to share an idealized image, a self-portrait goes deeper. The artist uses introspection to reveal what lies beneath the surface appearance, as the writer Baudelaire described - 'to imagine and reveal what is hidden under the face.'"

The exhibition features:

Alexandra Manston, Amalia Trullinou, Anni Stefanaki, Antonis Kassotakis, Voula Filippaki, Yannis Stavrakakis, Despina Zographaki, Despina Malliarou, Despina Plazomiti, Elvira Tatsis, Eleni Perpiraki, Efi Lebesi, Isabella Papadakis, Ioanna Kaloudi, Ioanna Hobi, Katerina Maravelaki, Litsa Mourtzano, Manousos Saridakis, Manolis Lioudakis, Maria Androulidaki, Maria Makridaki, Maria Fotaki, Maria Fotaki, Mariolena Pantazidou, Melinda Christelli, Pantelis Alevisakis, Petros Vasilakakis, Sofia Firdrilis, Tina Ogubuike, Fotini Kougleri, Chrysoula Dimitrakaki

Don't miss this chance to "get to know" the unique visions and perspectives of these 30 photographers through their self-portraits on display outdoors in Rethymno's garden.
