The Piraeus Bank Group Cultural Foundation (PIOP), in cooperation with Anemon Productions, starting from Monday 4 March 2024, presents the photography exhibition Foodprint, in the Museum of the Olive and Greek Olive Oil.
On the theme of the Mediterranean Diet and its importance for people's lives today, the exhibition links Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Cyprus and Croatia through the photos taken by five European photographers who bring to life an ancient way of life and nutrition. This diet has been recognized by UNESCO as an element of the Intangible Heritage of Humanity due to its unique qualities. Based on frugality, sharing and seasonality, it provides solutions to some of the most critical problems facing the planet today such as the loss of biodiversity, food waste and climate change.
The photographs by Johann Clausen, Elena Heatherwick, Myrto Papadopoulou, Chris de Bode and Maria Contreras Coll depict the various aspects of the Mediterranean Diet today. The exhibition in the Museum of the Olive and Greek Olive Oil in Sparti is part of the European tour that until now includes Italy, Cyprus, Turkey, Croatia, Albania, the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST) in Athens and the Environment Museum of Stymphalia in the mountainous region of Corinthia.
