Photographer, Effy Alexakis, and historian, Leonard Janiszewski, have in many ways become the dynamic duo of documenting the experience of the Greek diaspora both in Australia and abroad. With Effy's camera capturing moments and Leonard providing the historical context, the pair have managed to create a body of work worthy of being recognised as culturally significant. Their work includes exhibitions, books, public talks and more. The pair sit down with Tom and Nick to discuss everything from the earliest Greek migration to Australia, the gold rushes, the Milk Bars and Cafes that came to characterise the Greek experience in Australia and documenting the ghost villages and houses left behind in Greece as a result of migration.
