Poster for St. Viniri – The Sacred Forest

2020 · ★ 0.0 (0)

The forest of Agia Paraskevi in Vovousa, a mountainous village in Western Greece, is one of the last remaining sacred forests. Untouched by the passage of time, it’s being preserved by the myths that comprise the village’s oral tradition, which in turn passes on from generation to generation and building up the forest’s legend. People say that if the forest is “disturbed” in any way, the consequences will be devastating. As a result, the forest survives without any human intervention – something rare in our modern times.

(Quoted in Mona Hatoum, 1997, p.127.)

When the crowd finishes applauding the participants of the AIDS Walk in Central Park, NYC, the crowd disperses across the lawns. Then a friendly celebration begins with picnics and live music. I observe the mood of the different people gathered here in the stifling heat, who, carried away by the music, begin to dance.
