Πρόγονος/Ancestress: Gabriella Bartolo
10 – 27 March 2022
Progonos/Ancestress celebrates personal story and familial ties through a tender reimagination of the artist’s Yiayia’s photo library. Human experiences of womanhood, poverty, displacement, and tradition are displayed within these intimate snapshots, demonstrating a distant but familiar life trajectory. This collection invites a reflection upon memory and ritual as the foundation for our identities.
