From 2019, with a center for the residence of refugees in Synoikismos Chalandriourepresentatives of modern Greek art participating in a series of actions whose dominant element is the exploration and re-appropriation of public space.
From June 28 to July 2the settlement of Chalandrio will host the 5th consecutive group exhibition of +oikismos, entitled “Place of Unworldly Meetings».
THE exhibit/artistic intervention in which 46 artists and groups participated this year, curated by Panagiotis Daramara, Thodoris Korelis, Ira Papadopoulou and Dimitris Chalatsis, and focuses on the spatial-class dimensions of social interaction and the relationship of “foreign “.
With a title borrowed from a local newspaper article from the beginning of the last century, the exhibition “Place of Transcendent Conflicts” introduces us to the events of the refugee quarter of Chalandrio, which upset the oldest but also modern rules of reconciliation with “foreigners. “.
It examines the origin and wandering as another subject or a familiar stranger who repeats the usual social practices, through the social marker of class.
What is “foreign” in modern and post-modern times?
Is the threat he poses more terrifying than the enemy
Does the collective imaginary have the power to undermine the social structure of the town and therefore be “persecuted” with absent ghosts?
Memory, a key element that shapes human experience and social identity, is highlighted for another year at the +oikismos exhibition.
The exhibition includes ephemeral in situ installations, performances, videos and speeches, in the parks, the streets, the river and the courtyards of the refugee housing in the Neighborhood.
