Spilling Tea With Gus Constantellis
Spilling Tea With Gus Constantellis

Comedian and gay icon Gus Constantellis rocketed to fame impersonating his Greek mom on social media. After she died, he wrote My Greek Mom’s Recipe in tribute. Part memoir, part cookbook, it’s a funny, heartbreaking glimpse into their complicated relationship, and in managing grief, the Greek way.

Karagiózis
Karagiózis

How a Turkish shadow puppet evolved into a symbol of Greek suffering and resistance. Funny and subversive, Karagiózis connected Greeks in cities, villages and islands by keeping their music, culture and the seeds of resistance alive; sustaining Greeks through the Ottoman Occupation, the War for Independence, civil war, Nazi brutality and military oppression.
