The Womanifesto in its entirety and through every art stop frame, communicates the meaning of a nursery, a greenhouse of ideas and values, with the hope of "flowering", maturation and spread. Personally, to participate, as an ambassador in this whole process, is a call that honors me very much, including me in a continuous, evolutionary process of collective awakening and vigilance ", notes the Speaker of Parliament.
The Leventios Gallery will host the screening of the film project in a unique event in the first quarter of 2023.
The Director of the Leventiou Gallery, Lucia Loizou-Hadjigavriil, said that the Gallery supports artistic pursuits and the communication corridors that create such events, adding that it is important not only for the artist and the spectator or the visitor, but also because they create moments for today's artistic expression and how it will remain and be preserved and projected in the future.
