Step into a powerful new exhibition celebrating the fearless women of the Greek Revolution.

#WeAreGreekWarriors brings the heroines of 1821 into today’s cultural conversation through bold contemporary art and modern storytelling. Fighters, strategists, and champions of freedom, these extraordinary women helped shape history, yet many of their names remain unknown.

Now, their stories come to life at the Hellenic Museum of Michigan in a groundbreaking exhibition featuring original campaign prints alongside stunning works by acclaimed contemporary artist Ramona Pintea. Reclaiming history through a fresh, fearless lens, the exhibit honors and highlights the women of the Greek Revolution while speaking directly to the women of today. Through dynamic programming, cultural events, and interactive experiences, it connects the strength of 1821 to the leadership, voices, and impact of women now.

Women of all backgrounds and generations are invited to experience this inspiring tribute and rediscover their own warrior spirit.

Poolside Performances are an exploration of experimental music, movement, and mark-making. Join us for an expressive, experimental, solo set by multi-instrumentalist Leith Campbell.

Leith Campbell works at the intersection of technology and creativity. She works to find new, more organic methods to express emotion using technological means, as well as using machines to interrogate humanity’s relationship to technology. From tech-mediated avant-garde composition to electro-mechanical sculpture, there are few mediums under the rubric of technology she has not intersected with her practice.

Originally an instrumentalist with an improvisational focus, she has reinvented and renewed her practice many times. Since 2017, Campbell has been exploring notions of space, perception, phenomenology, and identity, as well as developing new pedagogies synergizing technology and art. She received her Master of Arts degree in Media Arts from the University of Michigan in 2017 and her Bachelor of Music degree from Wayne State University (WSU) in 2011. In addition to teaching at WSU, she also presides over the metal fabrication department of the College for Creative Studies.

She has installed and performed works locally, nationally, and internationally, including the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Detroit’s Orchestra Hall, the Power Center in Ann Arbor, End Tymes Festival in Red Hook, Brooklyn, and Electric Eclectics festival in Ontario. She is a recipient of the Culture Source Creators of Culture Grant, a 2014 Knight Foundation Arts Challenge grant, and is a 2022 Kresge Arts in Detroit Fellow. She lives in Midtown Detroit, where she continues to practice sound, music, design, and sculpture.

Poolside Performances occur rain or shine and are free and open to the public with RSVP. A cash bar will be available throughout the evening.
