1st floor).
Colorful artistic suggestions, always with the kite as the
main topic, will "overflow" the European Parliament,
in order to make well known to the public some of our artists-partners.

researcher Vassilis Platanos, in a scientific text, which
is also included in the Greek-English exhibition catalogue,
