Athens / Museum

The Acropolis Museum is an archaeological museum located in Athens, Greece, near the Acropolis hill. It was built to house and display artifacts from the Acropolis of Athens, one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece. The museum opened to the public in 2009 and is considered one of the most important and impressive museums in Greece. It is built over an archaeological site and features exhibits from the Archaic and Classical periods of ancient Greece, including sculptures, pottery, and other artifacts. One of the main attractions of the Acropolis Museum is the Parthenon Gallery, which displays many of the surviving sculptures and friezes from the Parthenon, including several of the famous Elgin Marbles that were taken to Britain in the 19th century. The museum also features exhibits from other important buildings on the Acropolis, such as the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike. The museum is designed to be a modern and interactive space, with multimedia exhibits and displays that help visitors understand the history and significance of the artifacts on display. It also features a rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the Acropolis and the city of Athens.

Just by walking through the column range you can sense what power means. A feeling that increases once you step in : everything is constructed so solid and out of proportions. But if you go on the back side of the building, this general impression will be disturbed. Looking up, you will notice that the stone columns are reinforced by bamboos fixed by Chinese vases. The hole facade looks like it is doing some exercise...It’s looks so funny. (actually, whilst invited for an exhibition Ai Wei Wei did judge that the building seems to fall apart and that it needs a bit of reinforcement...) I love it.

Taipei / Cafe

When I am in London, I don’t miss Taiwanese food, apart from breakfast. It’s kind of interesting. All the breakfast shops in Taiwan look exactly the same, selling exactly the same type of food, and usually, it tastes slightly different, but most of them are fantastic! There are millions of options, from sandwich, egg roll, spaghetti (Yes! Spaghetti for breakfast!), hamburgers…etc. And for each type food, you can choose from, bacon, ham, eggs, sweet corn, chicken, pork…etc. You can also mix with two, three or even more. On top of that, it takes you less £1. My favorite is egg roll with bacon and cheese, yummy!

Lancaster / Cafe

Good atmosphere when I feel like reading/sketching in public. A couple of vegetarian options and good coffee.

Vienna / Photographer

Istanbul born artist Eylül Aslan has started with photography at an early age as a way to escape the patriarchal system she was born in. Having been introduced to feminism and human rights by her politician and activist mother, she took on photography to express herself and created a visual world of her own. Her art has taken her to Berlin, Germany where she continued to live and work for 5 years until recently when she finally moved to Vienna, Austria. Her work consists of a play with light and shadow, her fascination on the human body and different forms it takes. Her first two photography books Trauerweide (2014) and Dear Slut (2015) focus on feministic issues, while her latest book Trompe L'Oeil (2017) deals with the subjectivity of beauty, both for men and women."

Carrboro / Film Director

Jerry Stifelman directs his flmmaking collective, CreatoDestructo Imagery and is a freelance writer and creative director for commercial brands that stand for something. He is an authenticity junkie, describing himself as “drawn to pretty much anything that comes a deep and true place, whether it's funny, ugly, beautiful or ferce.” His commercial work frequently takes him to large cities in other countries, but he loves his little home city of Carrboro, which he describes as “the funkier, gritter, hippier ( and hipper), less posh neighboring town to Chapel Hill, home of the University of North Carolina. It's an easy place to live, easy to bike everywhere, near the airport, and has loads of culture and the sense of optimism that comes from lots of students at the phase in life where all roads are open and anything is possible. It's also a place of great style — lots of people expressing themselves without listening to anyone else. It's also an easy ride to the Blue Ridge Mountains and the beaches.”
