The photography exhibition is hosted at the Artillery Hall in Fortezza Castle, running through Friday, June 13, 2025.

First photographer: Stefanos Paterakis, presenting “Touching Together”:
"Sometimes, the deepest touch isn’t physical — it’s the gaze, the acceptance, the understanding.
Through the lens, differences fade and what unites us emerges: our shared human essence.
This exhibition doesn’t tell stories of exclusion, but of presence.
It doesn’t just show diversity, it highlights coexistence.
Because when we touch each other with respect, with a gaze, with love — then we truly touch together."

Second photographer: Astrinos Alexakis, with the theme “ANTI-HEROES”:
"The world changes when you look at it with love,
when you build bridges instead of walls.
And every person, in their own way,
is light — even if the world doesn’t see it.
Give me space to show who I am.
Not because I’m ‘different,’
but because I am, like you,
simply… human."

Enjoy photographs that don’t depict exclusion, but presence, respect, and coexistence.
