1η Νοεμβρίου 2019 Έκθεση εικαστικών «Δρόμος, χώρος, τόπος» στην Ξάνθη.
O Σύλλογος Φίλων Ιδρύματος Θρακικής Τέχνης και Παράδοσης παρουσιάζει στη Ξάνθη από τις 1 Νοεμβρίου έως τις 15 Νοεμβρίου 2019, την εξαιρετική εικαστική δουλειά των μελών της Στέγης Φίλων Γραμμάτων και Τεχνών Καβάλας, σε μια έκθεση που επιδιώκει να επανασυστήσει στο κοινό την τοπική εικαστική δημιουργία.
Τίτλος της Έκθεσης: «Δρόμος, χώρος, τόπος»
Ο χώρος, αποτελεί μια αφηρημένη έννοια που βιώνεται αυθόρμητα, σαν ένα περιβάλλον που έχει υπόσταση, σαν ένα δοχείο που περιέχει όσα βλέπουμε και θα εξακολουθούσε να υπάρχει ακόμα κι αν αφαιρούσαμε τα υποκείμενα, που κατοικούν μέσα σε αυτό.
Η έννοια του χώρου και η αντίληψη του, αφορούν μία υποκειμενική πραγματικότητα, που εξαρτάται από διάφορους παράγοντες. Ο άνθρωπος στη συνεχή προσπάθεια του να ορίσει, να κατανοήσει και να ερμηνεύσει το περιβάλλον στο οποίο κατοικεί, ουσιαστικά αναλύει και περιγράφει την εμπειρία του χώρου και όχι τον ίδιο τον χώρο.
Έτσι λοιπόν προκύπτει η έννοια του τόπου ως βιωμένου χώρου. Ο χώρος είναι τελικά μια αφηρημένη έννοια που βιώνεται από τον άνθρωπο και από την αλληλεπίδραση αυτή προκύπτει η έννοια του τόπου.
Ο δρόμος ενώνει δυο τόπους. Μπορεί άλλοτε να έχει υλική υπόσταση, άλλοτε συμβολική, άλλοτε ουτοπική.
Για κάποιους ανθρώπους, όπως οι άστεγοι και πρόσφυγες, ο δρόμος είναι τόπος.
Ερωτήματα όπως, γιατί ένας τόπος αποπνέει γαλήνη, προκαλεί συγκίνηση, ηρεμία ή αντίθετα φόβο, αποστροφή, ή προκαλεί το ενδιαφέρον μας χρειάζονται διερεύνηση.
Δημιουργός της έννοιας του τόπου είναι μόνο ο άνθρωπος ή μήπως και ο πολιτισμός; Υπάρχει μόνο η ατομική προσωπική ματιά που τον διαμορφώνει ή συμμετέχει και η «συλλογική» ματιά που τον φορτώνει με μνήμες και ιστορία;
Και πάντα κάποιος δρόμος δεν είναι που ενώνει και διαχέει τους πολιτισμούς και τις συλλογικές μνήμες;
Φυσικά, ο τόπος είναι χώρος, αλλά η ατμόσφαιρα, που αποπνέει είναι μια ιδιότητα, που του προσδίδει ταυτότητα, τον κάνει δηλαδή, ξεχωριστό, μοναδικό για αυτόν, που θα την κατανοήσει και θα ταυτιστεί με αυτή.
Ο δρόμος είναι ταυτόχρονα και χώρος και τόπος. Σε αυτόν εξελίσσεται η ιστορία. Άλλοτε είναι μια φανταστική σύλληψη, άλλοτε είναι φορτωμένος με μνήμες και βιώματα. Άλλοτε φιλοξένησε ιστορικά γεγονότα και άλλοτε μοναχικές ιστορίες. Άλλοτε είναι πνιγμένος στο φως και τους ανθρώπους και άλλοτε σκοτεινός και έρημος.
Η έκθεση αυτή δίνει το έναυσμα για να ασχοληθούμε με τον χώρο που μεγαλώσαμε και ζήσαμε, με τις ιστορικές αναφορές του, τα ιστορικά γεγονότα, τις μνήμες, τις οπτικές απεικονίσεις, τις παλιές φωτογραφίες, την αλλαγή του τοπίου μέσα στον χρόνο, το περιεχόμενο των τουριστικών οδηγών, τα τοπία σαν έργα τέχνης.

Ethnological Museum of Alexandroupolis
The Ethnological Museum of Thrace was established to preserve historical memory in the wider geographical region of Thrace.
It is housed in a stone mansion built in 1899, in Alexandroupolis. Operating since October 2002 it is a self-funded project but sponsored in part by the Niarchos Foundation and the Ministry of Culture.
The Ethnological Museum of Thrace is a living place of acquaintance with the folk culture of Thrace, linking tradition and knowledge contained in it, with the reflection of modern society.
Its rooms host local costumes, utensils, tools and handiwork of Thrace dating from the relatively recent history.
Finally, there is a system with which you can search persons who have been uprooted from eastern Thrace and settled in villages in the prefecture of Evros in the early 20th century.

SUMMARY
=======
The occupation of Greece by the Axis Powers (Greek: Η Κατοχή, I Katochi, meaning The Occupation) began in April 1941 after Nazi Germany invaded Greece to assist its ally, Fascist Italy, which had been at war with Allied Greece since October 1940. Following the conquest of Crete, all of Greece was occupied by June 1941. The occupation in the mainland lasted until Germany and its ally Bulgaria were forced to withdraw under Allied pressure in early October 1944. However, German garrisons remained in control of Crete and some other Aegean islands until after the end of World War II in Europe, surrendering these islands in May and June 1945.
Fascist Italy had initially declared war and invaded Greece in October 1940, but the Hellenic Army initially managed to push back the invading forces into neighboring Albania, then an Italian protectorate. Nazi Germany intervened on its ally's behalf in southern Europe. While most of the Hellenic Army was dislocated on the Albanian front to fend off the relentless Italian counter-attacks, a rapid German Blitzkrieg campaign commenced in April 1941, and by June (with the conquest of Crete) Greece was defeated and occupied. As result, the Greek government went into exile, and an Axis collaborationist puppet government was established in the country. Furthermore, Greece's territory was divided into occupation zones run by the Axis powers, with the Germans proceeding to administer the most important regions of the country themselves, including Athens, Thessaloniki and the most strategic Aegean Islands. Other regions of the country were given to Germany's partners, Italy and Bulgaria.
The occupation ruined the Greek economy and brought about terrible hardships for the Greek civilian population. Much of Greece was subjected to enormous destruction of its industry (80% of which was destroyed), infrastructure (28% destroyed), ports, roads, railways and bridges (90%), forests and other natural resources (25%) and loss of civilian life (7.02% – 11.17% of its citizens). Over 40,000 civilians died in Athens alone from starvation, tens of thousands more died because of reprisals by Nazis and collaborators.The Jewish population of Greece was nearly eradicated. Of its pre-war population of 75-77,000, only around 11-12,000 survived, either by joining the resistance or being hidden. Most of those who died were deported to Auschwitz, while those in Thrace, under Bulgarian occupation, were sent to Treblinka.

SUMMARY
=======
The occupation of Greece by the Axis Powers (Greek: Η Κατοχή, I Katochi, meaning The Occupation) began in April 1941 after Nazi Germany invaded Greece to assist its ally, Fascist Italy, which had been at war with Allied Greece since October 1940. Following the conquest of Crete, all of Greece was occupied by June 1941. The occupation in the mainland lasted until Germany and its ally Bulgaria were forced to withdraw under Allied pressure in early October 1944. However, German garrisons remained in control of Crete and some other Aegean islands until after the end of World War II in Europe, surrendering these islands in May and June 1945.
Fascist Italy had initially declared war and invaded Greece in October 1940, but the Hellenic Army initially managed to push back the invading forces into neighboring Albania, then an Italian protectorate. Nazi Germany intervened on its ally's behalf in southern Europe. While most of the Hellenic Army was dislocated on the Albanian front to fend off the relentless Italian counter-attacks, a rapid German Blitzkrieg campaign commenced in April 1941, and by June (with the conquest of Crete) Greece was defeated and occupied. As result, the Greek government went into exile, and an Axis collaborationist puppet government was established in the country. Furthermore, Greece's territory was divided into occupation zones run by the Axis powers, with the Germans proceeding to administer the most important regions of the country themselves, including Athens, Thessaloniki and the most strategic Aegean Islands. Other regions of the country were given to Germany's partners, Italy and Bulgaria.
The occupation ruined the Greek economy and brought about terrible hardships for the Greek civilian population. Much of Greece was subjected to enormous destruction of its industry (80% of which was destroyed), infrastructure (28% destroyed), ports, roads, railways and bridges (90%), forests and other natural resources (25%) and loss of civilian life (7.02% – 11.17% of its citizens). Over 40,000 civilians died in Athens alone from starvation, tens of thousands more died because of reprisals by Nazis and collaborators.The Jewish population of Greece was nearly eradicated. Of its pre-war population of 75-77,000, only around 11-12,000 survived, either by joining the resistance or being hidden. Most of those who died were deported to Auschwitz, while those in Thrace, under Bulgarian occupation, were sent to Treblinka. The Italians did not deport Jews living in territory they controlled, but when the Germans took over, Jews living there were also deported.
At the same time the Greek Resistance was formed. These resistance groups launched guerrilla attacks against the occupying powers, fought against the collaborationist Security Battalions, and set up large espionage networks. By late 1943 the resistance groups began to fight amongst themselves. When liberation of the mainland came i ...

SUMMARY
=======
The Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople (Greek: Οἰκουμενικόν Πατριαρχεῖον Κωνσταντινουπόλεως, Oikoumenikón Patriarkhíon Konstantinoupóleos, IPA: [ikumeniˈkon patriarˈçion konstandinuˈpoleos]; Latin: Patriarchatus Oecumenicus Constantinopolitanus; Turkish: Rum Ortodoks Patrikhanesi, Roman Orthodox Patriarchate) is one of the fourteen autocephalous churches (or jurisdictions) that together compose the Eastern Orthodox Church. It is headed by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, currently Bartholomew I, Archbishop of Constantinople.
Because of its historical location as the capital of the former Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire and its role as the Mother Church of most modern Orthodox churches, Constantinople holds a special place of honor within Orthodoxy and serves as the seat for the Ecumenical Patriarch, who enjoys the status of Primus inter pares (first among equals) among the world's Eastern Orthodox prelates and is regarded by some as the representative and spiritual leader of the world's 300 million Orthodox Christians.The Ecumenical Patriarchate promotes the expansion of the Christian faith and Orthodox doctrine, and the Ecumenical Patriarchs are involved in ecumenism and interfaith dialogue, charitable work, and the defense of Orthodox Christian traditions. Prominent issues in the Ecumenical Patriarchate's policy in the 21st century include the safety of the believers in the Middle East, reconciliation of the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Churches, and the reopening of the Theological School of Halki which was closed down by the Turkish authorities in 1971.
