Katerina Foti | Blue
“Blue” is a song about urban melancholy and all the things we lose in a city that changes daily. Each building covered in blue tarp symbolizes all the stories and memories once held within it, now buried in its foundations for the sake of constructing short-term rental apartments. “Blue” is also the story of a woman who, while in a city that crashes down on her head, searches for her own personal losses, which become collective memories and stories flooding the urban fabric.

Chara Kotsali | ΙT’S THE END OF THE AMUSEMENT PHASE
In the aftermath of a technological and social revolution that never happened, “IT’S THE END OF THE AMUSEMENT PHASE” wants to think about the emotional history of the present. It is an attempt to stage a counter-epic narrative about the rush towards the sun and the freefall into the digital universe. Through the continuum of a dance that never stops, even when it has exhausted its physical and emotional resources, the performer traces the history of amazement and disenchantment, of amusement and sadness that followed the satellization of everyday life.

Meriç Öner | Best Used By [Date]
For her long-term research “SAVING/S?”, Meriç Öner studies various “acts of preservation” through different practices related to cultural heritage, food, wealth, nature, artworks, data, and memories. While inquiring about the motivations behind preservation from the perspectives of experts, she aims to collect personal reflections on the (expected) lifespans of all things that surround us. In the context of her research, Meriç collaborates with the Onassis AiR Fellow and Chef-in-Residence Christina Kotsilelou to organize a pickle-making workshop on the afternoon of Saturday, November 2. To schedule a 10-min conversation with Meriç, you can reserve your slot in advance by completing this form.

Through an audiovisual installation that introduces a peculiar plethos of Othered bodies and voices, Eva Papamargariti offers a first glimpse into her upcoming work “All these spectacular whispers”. This swarm of entities consumes, generates, and spits out fragmented stories and lore that dwell on the liminal realm of reality and fiction, while balancing constantly between personhood, vernacular mythologies, and fragile kinships.
