How to breathe in the grand narratives and breathe out lived experience.

Breathe in the monumentality and breathe out the details.

Breathe in the centers and breathe out margins.
 

3 137 is happy to invite you to Every Νame in History is an I, an exhibition by Selini Halvadaki. 

The exhibition reflects on the ways in which the story of European heritage is told. These stories are deeply intertwined in the representations we meet in (art) history, in museums, as well as in architecture and archaeology. In other words, the historical foundation and the monumental experience through which we perceive collectivity. The exhibition deals with it through a personal connection to two places, Greece and Denmark. Athens and Copenhagen. Through two generations, Every Νame in History is an I reflects on how lived experience and the telling and speaking of it can find a place in relation to, or in spite of, these perceived collectivities.
