HYam — Tombazis Mansion

The association HYam (Hydra for Artists of the Medi- terranean) was created in 2014 by journalist Pauline Simons in order to support emerging artists from Me- diterranean countries. She wished to help them gain greater visibility on the international scene through various initiatives and complementary events in Hydra and Paris, be it exhibitions, productions, round tables and residencies.

In 2021, as a complément to producing the «Dancing in Chains » exhibition, HYam has contributed to valorize the Tombazis Mansion by installing a custom lighting system thus optimising its potential. A new asset for the Athens School of Fine Arts, for its students and for Greek and foreign cultural institutions..
