A group of artists based in Athens from the refugee, local and international community came together in Spring 2017, with the idea of having a network to share and exhibit our art in a way that promotes integration and solidarity. We had also had a goal to find a studio space and use it for art classes and workshops. In September 2017 this base was offered by the Communitism Team on Kerameikou 28A in Metaxourgeio. Communitism is a self-funded sociο-cultural project aiming to mobilize social structures into re-activating abandoned buildings of Athens cultural heritage. They have offered a part of their building to our project, as the whole building functions as a communal, multifunctional space for a huge variety of projects and groups. Our DREAM of a studio space is up and running!What can we achieve with our movement?We believe having a safe art space surrounded by people who believe in equality and solidarity is a very important step in the integration movement where all of us will share the space to express ourselves to the world and discover each other’s talents as well as our own hidden treasures & focus on social street work in order to help the colourful neighbourhood of Kerameikou Street breathe in new life.
