Solidarity, Violence, Forgetting: The three periods of Lesbos

Mar.2025 Canon R6 

The Greek island of Lesbos, located on the Eastern Mediterranean migration route, where more than 60% of the population descends from refugees, became the media spotlight during a massive migratory flow in 2015. That year marked the turning point in the debate on migration for the following decade, both on the Greek island and throughout the EU.

The project aims to honor the memory of those who have risked their lives at this border over the last ten years, using Lesbos as a gateway to Europe. Places and moments, historical and symbolic, were mapped in order to narrate a chronology of events in the greek island, but also throughout the evolution of migration policies from EU.

Currently on exhibition at CC11 @Imago gallery, Lisbon.
More photos coming soon!
