Nikos Aligas presents Messolonghi photography exhibition in Paris

Photographer and presenter Nikos Aligas held a photography exhibition titled ‘Messolonghi, terre de Liberté’ at the Grande Halle de la Villette in Paris. Held from October 8 to 11, 2026, as part of the Salon Photo & Vidéo, the event attracted 35,300 visitors.

The exhibition commemorates the 200th anniversary of the historic Exodus of the Free Besieged. Through black-and-white photography, Aligas captures the identity of the Greek city of Messolonghi, focusing on its lagoon, local fishermen, and the daily lives of its residents. The work aims to connect the city's profound historical legacy with its contemporary community and natural environment.
