I'm Errika Gerakiti, an art writer and curator based in Athens. I write about modern and contemporary art, fashion, and cinema — with a particular interest in the overlooked, the uncomfortable, and the underrepresented. When I'm not writing, I'm curating exhibitions, reading, painting, sculpting, or reading. For longer reads, personal essays, and an occasional science-fiction or horror story, find me on Substack.
