These shrines, known as <em>kandylakia<\/em> (or <em>eikonistaseis<\/em>), mark deaths, survival from accidents, or nearby religious sites, blending personal grief with shared communal memory. It shows how this tradition connects ancient ritual, Greek Orthodoxy, folk art, and vernacular architecture in a living cultural practice. Photography can do more than observe, which is why this exhibition frames the photographic work as a celebration of tangible craft and human history, positioned against the growing dominance of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Katerina Pizania, PhD, Exhibition Curator<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LIVE-STREAM: <a
