The work of Avraam Pavlidis pays tribute for three decades now in the local folk culture, its various manifestations and the places it resides. The public discourse during these cloudy days turned its lights justly towards the most vulnerable groups such as, among others, the elderly people. Will tomorrow’s sunnier times though offer the least of care for these veterans and every vulnerable group? Will we experience a conscious respect for the elderly, for the culture they created or guarded for the generations to come?
