Description: "Faces of Athens highlights the consequences of the collapse of the Greek social and healthcare systems after the implementation of budget cuts demanded by the EU's finance ministers. The texts are based on conversations that Bernhard Hetzenauer conducted in 2016 in several social clinics across Athens, which can be seen as exemplary of Greek solidarity. These include the Social Clinic of Elliniko, the Athens Community Polyclinic and Pharmacy KIFA near Omonia Square and a similar KIFA in Piraeus. In 23 personal testimonies, volunteers and patients recount their lives during the ongoing financial crisis"--Publisher's website.
