(S)he Returns

The exhibition “She Returns” explores return as a multifaceted experience: physical, emotional, and spiritual. Through female perspectives, it focuses on places and relationships shaped by time and distance.

The works draw inspiration from the Odyssey, not as the narrative of a heroic journey, but as a series of experiences and re-entries. A journey in which return is neither linear nor final, but a movement that repeats and transforms itself.

“She Returns” approaches the encounter with the past and with beloved places as an experience that is both contemporary and timeless, where bodies remember and space holds traces. This is not about arrival, but about what we carry with us each time we reappear.

Participating artists - photographers: Aimilia Balaska, Alessandra Baldoni, Katerina Digoni, Alessia Rollo, Maryam Firuzi, Antonia Petriti.

Curated by: Nina Kassianou in collaboration with RETURN2ITHACA artist residency program.
