More About Me
- ACHILLES M. PEKLARIS
- Kibbutz Yotvata, Arava Desert, Israel
- Achilles was born in Athens in 1973. His official profession since 1995 is journalism, yet he has worked in many different fields – politicians' speechwriter and social media administrator to kibbutz worker - and beach bar manager and event planner to spokesman for a Publishing House. After 11 years of reporting on Greek politics as a staffer for nationwide papers and radios (and 2 years in New York covering 9/11) he started traveling. He stayed in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Yotvata, Budapest, Belgrade and Pristina, corresponding for Greece’s most established paper, Kathimerini and several magazines. In 2008 he moved back to New York to correspond on the US Election and produced “Hopes, Dreams and Hard Times”, a documentary portrait book, with photographer Alex Lambrovassilis. Their work was published by Greece’s oldest functioning publisher, The Bookstore of Hestia, exhibited at the Benaki Museum (2010), the New York Photo Festival (2011), and the China Lishui Photo Festival (2012) and got reviewed by the greek Press, The New York Times and the Shanghai Daily. Currently, Achilles resides and works at Kibbutz Yotvata, corresponding for Kathimerini and www.protagon.gr.
