An exhibition titled ‘boobs – art for awareness’, created by photographer and sociologist Sylvia Kouveli, was scheduled at the French Institute of Larissa from October 5 to October 30. The non-profit project uses anonymous photography to address breast health, cancer, and body image, aiming to “break taboos” by showcasing diverse representations of the breast to encourage dialogue on prevention and treatment. On October 16, the ‘As long as it is PINK, I hope’ initiative was held at the Kouma pedestrian street. Organized by the Association of Cancer Patients of Larissa in collaboration with several local institutions, including the French Institute of Larissa and IASO Thessaly, the event emphasized early diagnosis. The program included personal stories from survivors, musical performances, and participation from local football players and organizations. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-21: Larissa hosts breast cancer awareness event Larissa hosted the ‘As long as it is PINK, I hope’ event to promote breast cancer awareness and the importance of early diagnosis through community support and survivor stories. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/larissa-hosts-breast-cancer-awareness-event ### 2026-10-04: Larissa to host “boobs – art for awareness” photography exhibition The “boobs – art for awareness” photography exhibition will be held in Larissa this October to raise breast cancer awareness and promote body positivity through anonymous imagery. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/larissa-to-host-boobs-art-for-awareness-photography-exhibition --- Cite as: Breast cancer awareness initiatives in Larissa.
