WHO/Europe, through the Office on Quality of Care and Patient Safety in Athens in collaboration with Athens Photo World (APW) and the National Garden, is organizing a photo exhibition entitled “Health For All in Every Frame”. The exhibition, which will also be shown in digital projection during two major WHO/Europe events in December –the Meeting of Minds (10-11 December) and the 2nd Meeting of the WHO European Quality of Care and Patient Safety Focal Points Network (12 December)– aims to capture snapshots and highlight health issues in Greece.

It is a collective exhibition consisting of works by twelve contemporary Greek photographers that capture moments of the everyday life in Greek cities and the countryside. The images reveal habits and traditions that are directly or indirectly related to health and well-being.

Topics such as nutrition, exercise, being in touch with nature, paying attention to daily activities such as driving, relationships with fellow humans, protecting the environment, mental health and preventing addictions and unhealthy habits are only fragments of a larger, photographic and realistic frame for improving health and quality of life.

The exhibition is free and open for all. The photographs include:

• Works by 12 important Greek photographers: Michael Varaklas, Petros Giannakouris, Dimitris Kapantais, Michalis Karayiannis, Nikos Karanikolas, Yannis Kontos, Maro Kouri, Spyros Bakalis, Aggelos Barai, Thodoris Nikolaou, Michael Pappas and Dimitris Tosidis.
• The curation and selection of the images and accompanying texts was performed by the Athens Photo World team (Thanassis Stavrakis, Yannis Kolesidis, Christina Kalligianni and Vangelis Tatsis) in collaboration with the Director of the WHO Office in Athens, Dr. João Breda, and his team. The main objective of this effort was to capture simple habits of everyday life, the repetition or avoidance of which can contribute to the improvement of the individual and collective future.
