Maria Loizidouâs exhibition Newcomers transformed the abandoned Minerva Hotel in Platres into a meditation on displacement, refuge, and belonging. The site-specific installation responded to the hotelâs layered history as both summer retreat and wartime shelter, organizing visitors through six thematic spaces using fabric, sound, light, and found objects. The exhibition was accompanied by three parallel events exploring collective discourse, the relationship between desire and ownership, and artistic inhabitation of space. Alexandra LandrĂ©âs accompanying essay drew on Arendt and Ahmed to frame Loizidouâs work as âpolitical tendernessââmaking visible those erased from history through delicate interventions that hold space for bodies that donât âfit,â offering traces rather than monuments for the forgotten. The exhibition was produced and organized by Pylon Art & Culture.
