AHEPA Sydney & NSW Inc has announced its upcoming exhibition ‘Ode to Freedom’ by Greek Australian acclaimed artist Angela Kiki Konstantinopoulou, to be held at the NSW Parliament from 5 May to 28 May 2026.

This landmark exhibition celebrates the enduring spirit of freedom and cultural identity, expressed through Angela Kiki’s powerful artistic vision and also marks the bicentenary of the Exodus of Messolonghi (April 1826), a defining moment in the Greek War of Independence.

The exhibition underscores AHEPA Sydney & NSW Inc’s commitment to promoting Hellenic culture, values, and contributions within the broader Australian community.

General of Greece in Sydney, George Skemperis, for their support in bringing this exhibition to life.

“We are honoured to present Angela Kiki Konstantinopoulou’s ‘Ode to Freedom’ at the NSW Parliament. This exhibition is not only a celebration of art but also a tribute to the timeless ideals of freedom and unity, and the strong bonds between Greece and Australia,” said the President of AHEPA Sydney & NSW Inc, Jim Papanagiotou.
