The original idea for the exhibition was born on a September, among people with a soul, among people who hurt and move forward, who laugh and share. And among thoughts and ideas, actions followed…

And through these actions, a photographic exhibition was born, or better yet, a soul testimony. And then grief became art.

"I want to be your voice, I want you to be my support, I want us to move forward together, I want to feel what you feel… I want to capture – with you – what it is that you want to shout"

In the exhibition, 30 photographic portraits of volunteers, are lined up, where each portrait is a reference-signal to a form of violence (racism, femicide, racial or gender violence, propaganda, state violence, refugee). The portraits have been created in such a way to make a clear and direct reference to a form of violence but also to give voice to the victims and be the voice of the victims.

Each portrait is accompanied by a comprehensive and descriptive text, written by the volunteers themselves. Chrysa, Anna, Michalis, Nancy, Dimitris, Christos, Fotini, and the rest, all became a hug, and between the tears and the smiles, the hugs became photoshoots and the shots became voices… Each portrait is an echo of a crime, of injustice, and of a struggle that we don't always come out as winners, but we fight constantly not to lose.

The sequence of the portraits acts as signals, urging us to face the monster of violence and raise our voices in this inequal but just struggle.

For those who fell victim to fascism.For those who continue to fight it.For the light that will finally win.”
