“Grafoules”
“Grafoules” (“Little scribblers”) are an emergency group of writers. They operate on the streets in various areas of Athens, depending on social conditions and the demands of the times.  They write poems by hand and with a typewriter.  Their audience consists of unique recipients ─ passersby. Their goal is to inform people in an alternative way about what is happening or urgent. In their first action outside of Athens, they will appear at the 3rd Chania Book Festival.

The poets Pavlina Marvin and Tonia Tzirita Zacharatou participate from the group.
