PRESENTING MY WORK AT IEK ESP
On Friday 17.03.23 I gave a speech at IEK ESP in Thessaloniki, where I presented all my work in the fields of photography, video, sound and photobooks from 2005 till now. I focused more on the creative process that I follow rather than showing you a “best of” my work and I really enjoyed that you came and paged through the dummies and the photobooks that I had brought. Thank so much for coming! ©MariaTolika ©Eleni Karathanasi ©Eleni Karathanasi ©Eleni Karathanasi ©MariaTolika ©MariaTolika

Group exhibition at The Curated Fridge in Boston

The idea of the curated fridge was of Yorgos Efthymiadis in an attempt to celebrate fine art photography and connect photographers from around the world.
