Nelly, born Elli Souzoultzoglou-Seraidaris, is considered one of the most important female photographers of the 20th century in Greece. She studied photography in Dresden in the 20’s. In 1939 she represented Greece at the World Fair in New York where she stayed during the war. The exhibition traces the life of the artist, divided in three thematic periods.
