Iason Athanasiadis

Iason Athanasiadis is a multimedia videojournalist based between Athens, Istanbul and Tunis.

He is available for all stories related to migration, economic issues, heritage and the environment. 
His private work focuses on the Mediterranean, and in particular on how once-cosmopolitan, now-neglected port cities can recover from the effects of colonialism and nationalist narratives while adapting to the era of climate change, mass migration, and the misapplication of distorted modernities on heritage and regional traditions.
