About the event

Join us in a conversation with artist Irini Karayannopoulou and curator Christina Petkopoulou, who will discuss their newly launched femzine Janus II. In the publication, Karayannopoulou has carefully selected vintage soft porn images and altered them by adding her drawings to create new female forms that break free from the male gaze. The artworks are accompanied by excerpts from the guidebook Secrets of Loveliness (1964) and lyrics from popular songs from the 1960s, selected by Petkopoulou.
