CURRENT Athens is an online platform for the non-hierarchical promotion of contemporary art.
The solo exhibition Sunday Afternoon by Greek-American artist Nicole Economides delves into themes of nostalgia, the concept of home and the quest for identity in a transatlantic context. This exhibition serves as a continuation of her earlier series, Illusion of a Home, as a Memory, and is being presented for the first time at Callirrhoë. Inspired by photographs her grandmother sent to Greece in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Sunday Afternoon captures the echoes of a distant past. These images hold the emotional weight of a family's journey across cities, countries and continents. Economides' exploration of memory, migration, and identity transcends the personal, touching universal themes. Her storytelling becomes a poignant reminder that our journeys, marked by nostalgia and the quest for identity, are threads woven into the human condition. Despite our diverse paths, we share a longing for belonging, storytelling and emotional connection.
