Why this atlas exists
Not a catalogue
of the past.
A map of what
continues.
My Greece Atlas connects living traditions to the places, seasons and people that carry them forward — through photography, fieldwork and cultural context.

Photographic fieldwork, Greece
Created and curated by
George Tatakis
My Greece Atlas is built from George Tatakis’s long-term photographic fieldwork across Greece.
Its first layers grow from two major bodies of work: Ethos, centred on ritual and communal tradition, and Caryatis, centred on regional dress, identity and cultural continuity.
The atlas turns that work into a navigable form — connecting image, place, time and context.
