Australian artist Michael Zavros explores his Greek-Cypriot heritage through his work. One way he does this is by adding a modern twist to tales from Greek mythology. The characters and stories created by the ancient Greeks to explain the world around them included many gods, goddesses, heroes and monsters who each had their own characteristics and associated symbols.

​

In this interactive exhibition, Michael invited children to learn about a selection of characters from Greek mythology through an animation inspired by ancient Greek pottery. Children could also create their own digital ‘hero’ identity by capturing a side profile silhouette of their face, and then choosing their character’s features, accessories and an animal motif.​
