Taking art into the streets, artists have created a “social diary in public display”. Some have even come to consider the economic crisis as a source of inspiration, and an opportunity to reinvent their art and reassess their lives. In doing so, they have also provided an outlet for the often raw emotions of the people, especially the young, helping them navigate their own reactions and views, and inspiring a flurry of creative activity and initiatives to improve their surroundings and lives. The views and opinions expressed in this exhibition are those of the artists and do not necessarily reflect those of the National Hellenic Museum.
