“INSULAR ANIMISMS” CURATED BY EVA VASLAMATZI

Insular Animisms as part of the Anargyros Art Residency public program.
Opening Friday June 5 at 7pm

After exploring alternative knowledge systems and collective processes in its first edition, this year the residency turns its attention to the insular condition of its location and the particularities of its ecosystem. What is the place of new myths, animisms, and forms of storytelling within this geography? How can artistic practice challenge existing understandings of separation and connectivity across islands, cultures, and histories? And what alternative futures can be imagined for the Mediterranean?

Six artists working across visual arts, dance, cinema, and sound will present the outcomes of a six-week residency hosted by the Anargyrios and Korgialenios School of Spetses Foundation.

Artists: Nabil Aniss, Mariangela Ciccarello, Nona Inescu, Matilde Meireles, Konstantinos Papanikolaou, Myrto Vratsanou
