Beetroot Design Group, the design agency and think-tank from Thessaloniki, who won one of the highest distinctions in communication design in the world (red dot Agency of the Year) and Benaki Museum, the largest independent museum in Greece, proudly present Beetroot’s acclaimed exhibition: “The Greek Monsters” for the first time in their home country, Greece!
As part of its reputable support to New Greek Excellence, Benaki Museum will be hosting the “Monsters” at the Pireos St. Annexe from the 26th of April to July 2012.
With the Greek Monsters, Beetroot aims to respond –not without a sense of humor– to the current ill socio-economical image of modern Greece as this is largely presented in the media around the globe, while presenting key philosophical stands and practices in design. The Greek Monsters are used with their dual meaning both as perpetrators and victims, and ultimately as contemporary symbols against racism, generalization and exclusion.
The Greek Monsters exhibition is a celebration of the creativity and optimism in contemporary Greece
