PAOLA

About

This isn't a static archive—this is a memorial of decades of subversion, community, and survival. Paola Revenioti was a trans activist and a pioneer of the Greek LGBTQIA+ movement, sparking changes for communities marginalized through poverty, immigration, gender identity and sexwork. From publishing her groundbreaking queer magazine Kraximo (Κράξιμο) and organizing Greece's first Pride events, to using the raw intimacy of film and photography to capture the pulse of the Athens streets and nightlife, Paola transformed the sociopolitical landscape forever.
