Justice on the Shore
MileStone #4 The beach shimmered like a postcard—the kind found pinned to fridges in northern cities, worn at the edges by longing. It was the kind of day that made gods jealous. The sun, high and golden, stretched its arms across the bay, glinting off the calm, glassy sea. Cicadas buzzed like invisible machinery in the olive trees above, and the air smelled of salt, sunscreen, and grilled octopus. Children ran barefoot between towels and umbrellas, their laughter like windchimes. Couples reclined with sunglasses tilted on their noses, reading half-finished novels or scrolling in silence. The sea breathed gently, drawing in the restless, releasing them renewed. It was, in every…

The Impact of Female Leadership
Visiting the National Museum of Contemporary Art (ΕΜΣΤ) in Athens is always an evocative experience. However, stepping into Yael Bartana’s Two Minutes to Midnight felt like crossing a threshold into a parallel reality—a world where women govern in the face of global crises, bringing forth new dialogues on power, peace, sustainability, and the impact of female leadership. The impact of female leadership is felt across various sectors, transforming traditional narratives and practices. Bartana’s 2021 film installation, part of her transdisciplinary series What if Women Ruled the World?, was a striking reimagination of political leadership.

A faint tension, almost imperceptible to others, stirred in her chest.
