Echoes in the Mediterranean never end. They perpetuate and enhance.

At the center of the exhibition is the work of Wilhelm von Gloeden, presented for the first time in Greece. His photographs, often seen through a limited historical or erotic lens, are recontextualized here within the broader weave of Mediterranean queer heritage—where aesthetics, body, and myth interlace.

Conceived as a plural and stratified space—like the archaeological layers that form both cities and identities—the exhibition brings together voices and visions from different points of view (mirrors), including those of distant observers and embedded insiders.

It is structured as a research update: a moment to observe, assemble, and consider. The Mediterranean is approached here not solely as a geographical space or anthropological subject, but as a lived, emotional, and sensorial landscape—one that is deeply entangled with queerness.

Often treated as separate fields of study, "Mediterranean" and "queer" are here understood as inseparable. Rather than a juxtaposition, but a coexistence. To be Mediterranean is, inherently, to navigate complexity, multiplicity, fluidity. And in this, it echoes queerness: not only in gender or desire, but in modes of being, resisting, and remembering. Being queer is not outside the Mediterranean—it is one of its most enduring expressions.

These perspectives are meant to form a constellation of connections—some visible, others just emerging.
