Anyone who was lucky enough to have known Niki Marangou understands how special she was. Those who never had the chance to meet her will now have a unique opportunity to learn about her and her work through a small exhibition organised by the A. G. Leventis Gallery, which will be held in the Claude Monet Hall in the Coco­­­_Creativity Centre from 24 March to 9 May 2016.

Based on her literary and artistic work, and with the help of her daughter Katerina, her extended family and her friends, for the first time after her untimely death an attempt is being made to illustrate the poet, writer and artist Niki Marangou: a unique personality, talented and highly acclaimed.

THE MYSTERY OF THE WORLD

There are times when I am overwhelmed

before this mystery,

before the miracle of this world

the miracle that is a language…

For a Faint Idea, To Rodakio 2013 (excerpt)
