The Museum of Byzantine Culture participates in the 8th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art. Seven works of the main exhibition titled “Being as Communion” and curated by the art historian and curator of contemporary art, Maria-Thalia Karra, are exhibited in atriums, in the central corridor and in three galleries of the Museum’s permanent exhibition from March 4 to May 21, 2023.

The Museum exhibits works by Cevdet Erek and Kostas Roussakis, while other works are in dialogue with the museum’s collection: Jumana Manna’s “Sketch and Bread” parallels the structural fragments of modern cities with archaeological ruins. Ahmed Morsi’s surreal panoptic vision is surrounded by Byzantine images, while Angelos Plessas imagines a new model of existence which connects mystical, Byzantine and futuristic elements with the digital.
