The work which will be presented is a book specifically designed for children of a young age, which helps them learn while playing. More specifically, the book consists of numerous categories, each of whom includes specific words and images. The kids have to match the right image of each category to the right word, which are in magnet form. Therefore, the kids get to learn in a fun and innovative way, with the help of their caregivers and later by themselves.
My creative project was inspired by our class visit to the Schisto camp. This visit impacted me greatly and was one of the most valuable experiences I gained from the course. Motivated by heart-warming interactions with the children in the camp, I wanted to do something related to children and their environmental education as my creative project. Therefore, I decided to write two picture books for children, ages between four and eight, in which various SDGs are included. At the end of each book, there is a section titled “Let’s Learn”, where certain terms used in the story are explained, aiming to educate the children who would read the books.
"The Night Falls in Sarajevo" offers an immersive journey into Balkan intrigue, blending history with strategy in a Mafia-style game. Players assume roles from the infamous assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, navigating identity, politics, and deception. Through covert alliances and strategic moves, they uncover the truth amidst geopolitical tensions and critically reflect on nationalist narratives and ethical dilemmas. Every move in this game not only echoes historical significance but also challenges players to navigate the complexities of identity and power in an entertaining and immersive manner.
A condensed play on the Greek Civil War, placing emphasis on the identities of Balkan individuals. Centered around the protagonist Nikoletta and her experiences living in a village in the Peloponnese, the play is split up into four acts, jumping from the present, to 1948, then 1978 and ultimately back into present. The time jumps encapsulate perspectives Nikoletta faced during the tribulations of the Greek Civil War, after the war and efficaciously enunciates the need and power of compassion, historical reference and the dangers of polarization in society, regardless of time and setting.
The paper (and presentation to be used in the symposium) aims to delve into the fundamentals of the Langlands program and use the Mirror Symmetry that occurs in Modular Forms as the common factor to suggest a potential application to an extension of String Theory, M-Theory. The objective is to examine whether a so called Grand Unified Theory of Mathematics (connecting Number Theory with Harmonic Analysis) can be useful for the theoretical framework of a respective Unified Theory of Physics that combines General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
I created a photography book that allows the viewer to discover the city of Athens through street art. The work showcases the way that a colorful pop of color tells stories that are political, comedic, etc.
In this short graphic novel, I present how a woman in the 50s makes the most out of her role as a housewife. With this project I highlight how women might have strived for personal agency through their role in the house and as mothers, at a time when opportunities to speak their mind were rather limited.
