About

Welcome to peri-Tēchnes, an art and design platform that seeks to bring you in contact with the intriguing and bustling creative scene in Greece while simultaneously drawing connections with its counterpart in the US! Our goal is to bring you in closer contact with the work of some remarkable artists, printmakers, and designers with Greek roots or influences, from the US as well as from across the pond.

On our website, you can read exciting news, artist features, interviews, as well as exhibition and cultural event reviews. As of recently, you can also view available works created by artists from our growing roster. At peri-Tēchnes we want to make the art world more accessible to everyone. Here, aspiring collectors can connect directly with artists!

Natalia Almonte
Natalia Almonte is an artist born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Almonte’s practice questions the authority of language and the power of verbal manipulation, a reality faced by colonial entities that seldom dictate their own story and are subject to the mercy of the empire’s archives. She considers that the subjective testimonial reveals more about the true repercussions of our sociopolitical climate than “official” documentation. Her work has been shown in galleries such as Smack Mellon in New York City and ÁREA: Lugar de Proyectos in Puerto Rico. The artist has an upcoming solo exhibition in Das Schaufenster in Seattle, as well as 2021 residencies in Mexico and France.
