Effy Alexakis to hold Sydney exhibition of photographic work over past 40 years

For 40 years, Effy Alexakis has been providing a unique visual insight into the ongoing story of the Greek Australian community.

To reflect on her past works, the documentary photographer will be presenting a survey exhibition from December 8 – 14 at The Shop Gallery in the Sydney suburb of Glebe.

During the exhibition, Alexakis will also present two new projects: Father Nektarios Soup Kitchen and Binding Threads.

Father Nektarios Soup Kitchen dives into the work of Greek Orthodox priest Father Nektarios from Saint Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Newtown and the volunteers who run the soup kitchen.

Binding Threads, while in its early stages of photography, captures second to fourth-generation Greek Australians in Hellenic national costumes.
