Positioned in the northern Dodecanese archipelago, the island of Leros was occupied by the Italians in 1912, leaving behind a legacy of colorful houses and striking rationalist architecture. If you’re visiting, it’s well worth stopping by the restored 19th-century Kandioglou Mansion, or the modernist Primary School of Lakki—both of which currently serve as venues for a group exhibition organized by an Istanbul-based gallery, Perasma. Now in it’s third year, the show features contemporary artists, from William Kentridge to Margherita Chiarva, who have been invited to create works inspired by Leros’s rocky terrain and windswept hills. Their work will be shown alongside pieces by 20th-century masters such as Dora Maar and Lucio Fontana. —Elena Clavarino
