Elective Design Studio prêt-à-plier  led by Sophia Vyzoviti is featured in the architectural exhibition "Hellenic Light: Nea Paralia Nea Pasarela 10" at the The Folk Life and Ethnological Museum of Macedonia and Thrace in Thessaloniki. The exhibition includes garments that explored elements of traditional Greek costume, made with recyclable materials, and presented at the event organized by the "Friends of Nea Paralia" at the Sculpture Garden in Nea Paralia, Thessaloniki. Group pret-a-plier identifies with the experimental materiality of pleated surfaces and paper as the main medium of expression. This year we are exploring recycling hands-on by reusing plotter paper from old architectural composition or construction course printouts, rice paper with sketches, as well as aluminum foil, cash register receipts and wrapping paper.
