A rare experience at Sikinos island.
See you there! 💙📚🏝️💥
PS. Sorry to our friend (aka Taxis) for leaving your 2 thick sketchbooks back in Athens :( next year they will travel to Sikinos

After 6 years, our zine exhibition at island is relocated from the yard of the old school of Kastro (will be a museum, soon), right across, to the yard of the new school. The new school has some great lights, plenty of space to sit and read the zines from the and last but not least, one of the best views of the sunset while at Sikinos. Great times ahead. See you there from Friday 25/7 to Monday 28/7, 19:30-23:00.
