Beyond Destruction - The exhibition

At the first presentation of the exhibition, a number of people attended the opening, from friends and relatives of the two creators to people with important institutional roles. The most memorable and moving presences, however, were of some of the protagonists of the stories: the livestock farmer Vangelis Makris from Palamas, who saved 12 people on the night of the flood, and the forester Giorgos Pistolas from Alexandroupoli, who during the fire took a difficult decision and saved a large part of the forest.

The exhibition was organised by the Heinrich Böll Foundation - Thessaloniki Office, with the support of the Goethe-Institut Athen.
