Extraordinary stories to tell
by @stauroulak
stavroula@theauthentics.gr

For Annette Thomas, owner of The Selene in Symi, G For Annette Thomas, owner of The Selene in Symi, Greece became the counterbalance to her life. Today, she welcomes guests to slow down and embrace the island’s timeless pace.

“Greece began as somewhere I came on holiday. Over more than thirty years, it has become part of the rhythm of my life.
At first, it offered rest from a demanding working world. Later it became a place of family memories, friendships and belonging. Now it feels less like an escape from my life and more like an essential part of it.
Greece has also changed my understanding of what makes a rich life. It has taught me to be present, to make time for the people I love and not to confuse activity with meaning. Those lessons are simple, but they are easy to forget.“

“Authenticity is the opposite of performance.
We use the word very easily now, as though authenticity can be designed, packaged or marketed. I do not think it can. It belongs to people and places that are not trying to be seen in a particular way. They have been shaped slowly and imperfectly over time. They do not perform; they simply are.
Perhaps that is why I love Symi so much. It has never tried to become somewhere else.“

Τhe island of Othonoi Becomes a Living Laboratory Τhe island of Othonoi Becomes a Living Laboratory for Four Artists through Ionian Lab Residency in a Collaborative Initiative by Space52 and Kalogerou

The Krank employs land art to initiate a public conversation around the planned hydrocarbon exploration in the Ionian Sea. His work The Hunt transforms the shoreline into a symbolic battleground between the prehistoric hunter and contemporary industry.

Vassiliki Koukou approaches Othonoi through mythology and ecology. Her series The Nymphs of Ogygia imagines hybrid figures born from water, vegetation and the island’s collective memory.

Dionisis Christofilogiannis explores Othonoi through the lens of collective memory. The drawing series Mimi, dedicated to the island’s last donkey, becomes an allegory for a community and a way of life that is gradually disappearing.

Dimitris Kontodimos investigates geography as a political condition. His works Not to Touch the Earth, Not to See the Sun and West/End explore the desire for escape, the notion of borders, and the West as both a promise and an ideological construct.
