We are thrilled to announce the unveiling of our art installation, Return to Sender, curated by Katerina Gregou, at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) in collaboration with the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST). Originally developed for Documenta 15 in 2022, this project is a poignant commentary on the environmental impact of second-hand clothing waste in Africa.
