Last Saturday, amidst the energy of Melbourne’s Antipodes festival, Goksin’s lens became a conduit for the essence of celebration, joy, and diversity that defines this iconic Greek event.

Goksin documented the many faces representing Hellenic cultures and generations. From leaders like Bill Papastergiadis, President of the Greek Community of Melbourne, to the presence of Andrew Giles, Commonwealth Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Goksin’s photographs encapsulate the spectrum of influence and participation within the community.

Goksin’s lens doesn’t focus on the prominent figures; it delves deeper into the festival’s heart, where the true essence lies. His images resonate with the excitement of over 100,000 attendees, each contributing their unique thread to the resonant tapestry of the event.

One of the highlights captured by Goksin was the electrifying performance by internationally acclaimed Melina Aslanidou, which transfixed the audience in a state of rapture.

In Goksin’s hands, photography becomes a storytelling medium, weaving narratives of connection, belonging, and cultural richness.

His work is visual storytelling, preserving and celebrating the essence of community and tradition.

We gaze upon Goksin’s photographs as spectators and participants drawn into the dynamism of Melbourne’s Antipodes festival. Goksin invites us to witness and embrace diversity, reminding us that every face tells a story worth capturing in the mosaic of humanity.
