Πρόκειται για τη μοναδική έκθεση που τιμά ταυτόχρονα τις δύο επετείους-ορόσημα για την πόλη και τη χώρα, τα 50 χρόνια από την αποκατάσταση της δημοκρατίας το 1974 και τα 80 χρόνια από την απελευθέρωση της Αθήνας από τη ναζιστική κατοχή το 1944. Σε σχεδιασμό και υλοποίηση από την Τεχνόπολη Δήμου Αθηναίων σε συνεργασία με τα Αρχεία Σύγχρονης Κοινωνικής Ιστορίας (ΑΣΚΙ), τα Γενικά Αρχεία του Κράτους και το Ιστορικό Αρχείο του Δήμου Αθηναίων, η έκθεση φιλοξενείται σε έναν χώρο ιδιαίτερης ιστορικής σημασίας, στην καρδιά της Αθήνας. Το Κέντρο Τεχνών του Οργανισμού Πολιτισμού, Αθλητισμού και Νεολαίας του Δήμου Αθηναίων (ΟΠΑΝΔΑ) στο Πάρκο Ελευθερίας, εντάσσεται στον μνημειακό χώρο των παλιών κρατητηρίων του Διοικητηρίου της ΕΑΤ – ΕΣΑ και πλέον αποτελεί έναν σπουδαίο χώρο πολιτισμού, μια εστία ελεύθερου λόγου, δημιουργίας και πολιτιστικής αναγέννησης.

For me, it is important that every resident of this city has the opportunity to become acquainted firsthand with the richness of our history and culture. I want Athens to be a lively city, open to everyone. We respect the past and look to the future.”
