Last time's discussion started from the artworks. This time, leaving the artworks (not completely) aside, we will focus on procedures, tools, and thoughts around art and culture in today's Athens: Running a platform about contemporary art events; designing routes and maps of the city and its artscene; painting an airbnb wall; curating an exhibition about urban space; being a d14 chorus member; tracking elements of exoticisation in the media; responding to changes in the city; thinking about cultural tourism; and the working conditions within the fields of art and culture in Athens today are some of the topics to be discussed between a diverse panel and the audience.
The discussion will take place in Greek.
