The project unfolds around the city of Alexandria in relation to its Greek element as a vigorous aspect of its cosmopolitan past. Through a multidisciplinary, experimental documentary approach, the project investigates and showcases the traces of the Greek presence, as they are/were reflected not only on the urban surfaces of the city, but mainly on the lives, everyday practices, motifs, rituals and exchanges of its inhabitants as the (in)tangible transmitters of a hybrid urban identity.
