Introduction
Photographs by 8 men and women who make their living selling Schedia street papaer. See the city through their eyes, buy their work and help them support themselves.
The Schedia vendors’ photographic exhibition at the Onassis Stegi is a singular event: because it helps us to see both more and more clearly; because it broadens our horizons.
Schedia is Greece’s only street paper. Like all the members of the International Network of Street Papers (INSP), Schedia is not sold at newsagents, kiosks and the usual points of sale but exclusively on the street by registered vendors. Vendors come from socially vulnerable groups: the homeless, the unemployed and those who live below the poverty line.
Half of the 3 € cover price goes straight to the vendor, so the paper provides a unique opportunity for sellers to earn a living wage as well as a means of escaping social isolation and exclusion. It provides men and women who find themselves on the street with one more reason to rebuild their lives.
