Nancy Atakan ve Kalliopi Lemos
This is the first joint collaboration by Nancy Atakan and Kalliopi Lemos; artists who have established considerable international reputations for work rooted in storytelling, identity and the female experience. The genesis of this work comes through a shared interest in female and familial stories in which women are often the ‘keepers’ of cherished memories and stories passed down through the generations.
