15 Οκτωβρίου | Διεθνής Ημέρα της Γυναίκας της Υπαίθρου

Μια αγρότισσα στο Ζαγόρι, το 1937–1938. Μια καρδάρα, ένα παγούρι και ο φωτογραφικός φακός της Nelly’s.

Η Έλλη Σουγιουλτζόγλου-Σεραϊδάρη, γνωστή ως Nelly’s και για τα εμβληματικά της πορτρέτα, στρέφει τον φακό της και στους ανθρώπους της ελληνικής υπαίθρου, αποτυπώνοντας πρόσωπα και σκηνές αγροτικής και ποιμενικής ζωής.

Με αφορμή τη Διεθνή Ημέρα της Γυναίκας της Υπαίθρου, επιστρέφουμε σε μια φωτογραφία που διασώζει τη μορφή μιας γυναίκας, μια εποχή και μια όψη της ζωής στην ελληνική ύπαιθρο της δεκαετίας του 1930, κρατώντας ζωντανές τις ιστορίες ανθρώπων και τόπων.

15 October | International Day of Rural Women

A female farmer in Zagori, 1937–1938. A wooden trough, a water jug, and Nelly’s camera lens.

Elli Sougioultsoglou-Seridari, known as Nelly’s for her iconic portraits, turns her lens toward the people of the Greek countryside, capturing faces and scenes of rural and pastoral life.

On the occasion of International Rural Women’s Day, we return to a photograph that captures the image of a woman, an era, and a glimpse of life in the Greek countryside of the 1930s, keeping the stories of people and places alive.

Ingrid Carlberg, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, said that the poet was in Iceland “listening to the wind” when the academy called to notify her of the win. Carson had sounded “very taken by surprise.”
