Educational Program
It is framed every semester by a blend of four international lecturers who have experience in the field of exhibitions as artists, curators or academics.
Maria Siorba, is a visual artist based in Athens. She studied Communication (Panteion University), Graphic Design (AKTO), and Fine Arts (Athens School of Fine Arts). Her photographic work, deeply inspired by personal experiences and shaped by existential and psychological approaches, places particular emphasis on the management of atmosphere throughout the entire process of artistic creation. With a passion for poetic and symbolic language, she explores themes such as human communication, the complex issue of expression, and the multiple perspectives of reality and truth. She is also a free-lance photographer and retoucher. Recent exhibitions: Circulations Festival (FR), PhMuseum Days (IT), Athens Photo Festival (GR), PEP (BE, DE). She is part of Futures Photography since ’23, nominated by Void.
Joselito Verschaeve (Belgium, 1996) is a visual artist with a focus on photographic work and the photobook. His work leans on day-to-day encounters that turn narrative-driven. These narratives often revolve around themes of dystopia, repetitive history, and the anthropocene. In 2021 he received his master’s degree from KASK, Ghent (BE), and was selected for the Futures Talent Program. Since beginning his Educative Master’s degree, Joselito has increasingly approached photography as a research tool, using images to question societal structures and human behaviour. His latest photobook, As Long as the Sun Lasts, was published by VOID in 2025.
Ilias Lois pursued his education at the Department of Photography & Audiovisual Arts at the UniWA and furthered his studies at the School of Fine Arts in Venice. His artistic endeavours have garnered international recognition, with his works featured in institutions, festivals, and prominent photography publications. In addition to his artistic pursuits, Lois serves as editor of the photography magazine Velvet Eyes. He is also a regular contributor to the Athens Photo Festival, where he recently curated the exhibition Good Advice & Other Recipes at the Benaki Museum. His projects are inspired by the systematic observation of communication between people, the human manipulation of materials and technology and the body language. The artist’s approach pays close attention to the practices of transferring a three-dimensional world onto a two-dimensional surface, as well as to the reverse process that follows. In 2024, he received the Futures' Artist honour at the nomination of the publishing house Void.
Katerina Moschou, (b. Athens), Greece. Lives and works in Athens. Her work spans various mediums including sculpture and photography, with printmaking and painting constituting the stable components of her creative process. A recurring theme in her work is that of exclusion — a condition that is studied as a negative space systematically sculpted by society’s actions, beliefs, fears. All these things a society chooses to discard and to push to the sidelines ultimately define its character. Katerina, forges a new connection with the marginal, accentuating its vitality and highlighting the unique functioning of living and non-living entities within. Through her work, she brings to light everyday narratives that often linger in obscurity. She received a support grant from Polycopies & Co (Paris 2022) for her firstl photobook, "How to drive," a collaborative endeavor with ZOETROPE ATHENS. This project was honored with the ArtsLibris Banc Sabadell Award 2023 (Barcelona 2023) and attained a place on the shortlist for the PhotoESPANA Best Photography Book Award (Madrid 2023).
