The exhibition “Embrace Empathy: Exploring the Spectrum of Understanding” is organized
within the framework of the innovative project “EMPACT – Empathy and Sustainability: The
Art of Thinking like a Mountain,” co-funded by the Creative Europe program of the EU. The
exhibition is curated by Olga Daniylopoulou and hosted by the Vorres Museum, a member
and collaborator of the EMPACT European partners .
The exhibition showcases artists and artworks created as part of various actions carried
out by all collaborating entities from participating countries. Greek artists have also been
invited to enrich the exhibition with their own perspectives on the program’s major themes.
In total, the exhibition features 26 artists at the Vorres Museum.
Among these artists, 17 have collaborated in some action with one of the 7 European
