Megara, one of the most significant documentaries in contemporary Greek cinema, records one of the country's most serious ecological disasters. In 1973, the government decided to expropriate vast agricultural land with majestic olive trees to build an oil refinery. The rightful rebellion of the residents of Megara, who stood up for their land and olive trees, transformed into one of the first mass protests against the military junta.
Beliefs surrounding illness and healing in Byzantium stem from the myths, astrology, and magic practiced around the Mediterranean by Jews, Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and Greeks.
Mario Prassinos liked Istanbul more than the current Istanbulites of today. It is obvious that you can understand this from the article written by her daughter Catherine Prassinos in the Pera Museum's book on the artist.
Pera Museum presents an exhibition of French artist Félix Ziem, one of the most original landscape painters of the 19th century. The exhibition Wanderer on the Sea of Light presents Ziem as an artist who left his mark on 19th century painting and who is mostly known for his paintings of Istanbul and Venice, where the city and the sea are intertwined. Through the exhibition, we will be sharing detailed information about the artist and the artworks.
