Decadence 4ever

Club Decadence operated from 1978 to 2009 at a building dating back to 1934, on Strefi Hill in Athens, Greece. The club attracted for decades many important musicians and artists, as well as a dedicated following of patrons, and is thus a central element of the history and culture of the city. Decadence 4ever is a publication curated by Athanasía Aarniosuo where several artists share their memories of the legendary Club Decadence. In the stories, feelings of recklessness, belonging, love, lust, music, and community are highlighted. Some of the stories are bittersweet, but most are joyful. The contributing artists are Dioni Vougioukli, Roxani Giannou, Vasilis Kalantzis, Saima Androutsopoulou, Maria Papakonstantinou, Konstantinos Demis, Athanasía Aarniosuo, Dana Papachristou, Panagiotis Voulgaris, Evangelos Androutsopoulos, and Theodora Angelopoulou.
