4th Annual Black and White Athens Photography Exhibition — February 2026

Hosted by Blank Wall Gallery at Serafino City of Athens, Athens, Greece

In 2026, Maxine Noel exhibited her black and white film photograph Tracing the Wind at the 4th Annual Black and White Athens Photography Exhibition hosted by Blank Wall Gallery in Athens, Greece.

The exhibited image was of a Tuareg guide relaxing on a dune, writing in his native language in the sand, on a windy afternoon. It was photographed in the Sahara Desert near Djanet, Algeria, on Fomapan 400 using a Pentax K1000. The work forms part of Noel’s broader documentary exploration of the Sahara and North African cultural landscapes, specifically from the project, Beyond the Dunes: A Tuareg Legacy.

Blank Wall Gallery is an established contemporary art gallery in Athens known for hosting international photography exhibitions and juried showcases. Participation in the 4th Annual Black and White Exhibition marked Noel’s first international gallery exhibition.
