We look closely at the genuine indigenous examples of intellectual production and aesthetic practice of the tribes situated across the hellenic land. From the rich and disputed areas of the hellenic North to the indigenous aesthetics of the islandic populations, greek tribes prove they are the true heirs of the hellenic tribal multicalturalism.

Eine bukolische Drama an der deutsch-griechischen Freundschaft

The poor and orphaned Golfo is a beautiful young shepherdess who services the chief shepherd Zisis. She finds love in the eyes of a lad in the region, the shepherd Tassos. While sieged by the rich kid in the area, Kitsos, she refuses his proposals and remains faithful to the love vows exchanged with Tasos. The two youngsters are engaged and about to marry when Tasos gets a pressing matchmaking for him by Kitsos, who suggests he should marry the cousine and daughter of the chief shepherd, Stavroula, instead. Despite the initial immediate denial, Tasos is eventually lured by the large dowry and takes Stavroula as his wife, abandoning Golfo. The young girl is desperate, loses her mind and curses Tasos. Shortly before the wedding, the almost insane by that point Golfo lifts the curse and wishes them happiness. Tasos, shaken by the greatness of her love, changes his mind and runs to her, but it is already late: Golfo has poisoned herself and dies in his arms. Tasos commits suicide at her side.

Athanasios Thanatos
Paul Preciado has stated that "Sotiria Bellou is more interesting than Andy Warhol".

Paul Preciado, author of Testo Junkie, is a contemporary writer, philosopher and curator whose work focuses on applied and theoretical topics relating to identity, gender, pornography, architecture and sexuality.[2] Eight years ago, Paul began a process of "slow transition" where he started the process of becoming a male, physically. From this point on he has considered himself transgender as well as a feminist.

Sotiria Bellou was a famous Greek singer and performer of the Greek rebetiko style of music. She was one of the most famous rebetisa of all, mentioned in many music guides, and a contributor to the 1984 British Documentary entitled Music of the Outsiders.

Grecanic Songs
Dimitris Dimopoulos, Fil Ieropoulos
​Grecanic acts: Die Epensänger (The Singers of Epic Poems), 1959-1962 Die Opa-Jodeler (The Yodelers of Opa), 1960-1969 Yasou File, Servus Freund! (meaning "Hello Friend" in both greek and german) 1962-1963 Die Ιnselzauberer (Magicians of the Islands) 1963-1969 Die Griechen aus Zypern (The Greeks from Cyprus) 1967-1969 Members of the Yodelers of Opa were so popular, many of them having pursued solo carreers and some managing to cross-over and become well established in the Schlager music scene.
The Grecanic (greek: γκρεκανικά) Canon consists of traditional songs from the Epirus region in the northwestern part of Greece that have been translated from Greek into German by the Foreign Worker Assimilation Committee of the Federal Republic of Germany (GAA, Gastarbeiter Assimilation Ausschuss der BRD). Created in 1958, the GAA in an effort to further immigrant intergration and cultural exchange made an effort to make incoming populations feel welcome, had scholars translate and adapt traditional and folk music into German and have native musical acts tour the country and showcase their country of origin's music in a way the German people will be able to understand it. These tours were highly popular and many of the acts continue to be successful after the GAA stopped operating in 1969, having been accused of cultural appropriation. Many claim that had the GAA not stopped operating and have had its top acts perform at the Munich Summer Olympics opening ceremony, the sad event that left its bloody mark on the 1972 Summer Olympics would never have occurred.
Indigo Children  
Alexandra Anagnostopoulou, Sofia Grigoriadou
In August 1982 both scientists and common people observed a rare phenomenon over the Aegean sea. Photons from distant galactic or solar areas merged with the genetic material of the children conceived during that period, resulting in them developing special mental and physical abilities. Even before they were born, these Indigo children have been followed and examined by scientists, whose identity and motives still remain a mystery.

Born in April 1983, two Indigo children, Alexandra Anagnostopoulou and Sofia Grigoriadou share their personal stories and recommend the National Survival Talisman for protection from the hard times that are coming. Based on facts and theories about people born in Greece in April of 1983, the narrative of this work builds on nationalist and messianic discourse in contemporary Greece.
