From January 18 to March 11, 2022, the exhibition "Remember me and love me" dedicated to the life and works of late Greek artist and politician Melina Mercouri will be open to the public at the Technopolis cultural complex in Athens.
Organized of the Municipality of Athens in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and Sports and the Melina Mercouri Foundation, the exhibition will mark the 100th anniversary since Mercouri’s birth.
Melina Mercouri, or just Melina – as Greeks call her – was an award-winning actress, activist and politician who served two terms as minister for Culture (1981-1989 and 1993-1994), the first woman to occupy the post. One of her most enduring legacies as a minister for Culture was her passionate advocation for the return of the Parthenon Marbles to Greece, a difficult cause that has gained great international traction only lately, 40 years later. With her inexhaustible vitality, rare charm and her international radiance, Mercouri was one of a kind and definitely among the most important Greeks of the 20th century.
