IdeasCity Athens: Nikolas Ventourakis, Stories from Home

Visual artist, Athens-native, international traveler, and IdeasCity Detroit Fellow alumni Nikolas Ventourakis revisits stories of his homeland with IdeasCity Radio.

ABOUT

Ventourakis is a visual artist living and working between Athens and London. His photographic practice fuses fine art and documentation, and relies on the manifested misconceptions and assumptions, created by the interaction between the viewer and the work.

He completed an MA in Photography with Merit at Central Saint Martins School of Arts and is the recipient of the Deutsche Bank Award in Photography and in 2015 was a visiting artist at CalArts with a FULBRIGHT Artist Fellowship.

Recently he has exhibited in Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Portugal, Germany and the UK. He participated as a fellow in IdeasCity Detroit and will be one of the hosts of IdeasCity Radio in Athens.
