Titled Solidarity: Value of Democracy and Culture, the exhibition brings together artworks by 30 cartoonists from around the world, who have responded to the invitation by multi-award winning Greek cartoonist Michalis Kountouris to express their solidarity towards Greece through their cartoon work.

The exhibition, organized by EduCartoon educational NGO and held in the context of the We are all Greeks global campaign, will then travel to cities around Greece.

The Contemporary Greek Art Institute presents the exhibition titled Abstract further Abstraction, displaying works by six contemporary Greek artists. According to its curator, Anna Marangou, the purpose of this mixed technique exhibition is "to explore the presence of abstraction within the artistic milieu of nowadays," through the artists’ interpretation and deconstruction of older forms.

It relates the story of an Iranian who tries to flee to the UK and is joined by a pregnant woman on the way.
