Let’s spread the word, not the virus. Due to the current circumstances with corona virus and the concerns that we share, we decided to cancel the public event and minimise the gathering on Saturday March 14th in Athens. Our project with the students consists of the valorisation of an empty plot of land to create a spontaneous public space and of several public interventions along the street of Kritis as a physical proposition for the local community. The infrastructures we produce aim to exist for longer term in the neighbourhood. We will launch the project on Saturday as planned in the public space but won’t organise any public event nor gathering. We will share a map indicating the location of all interventions. If you happen to be around in the near future or in case you are interested to see the project later, you will find our work in the street.

On Saturday March 14th, we will be along Kritis street close to our infrastructures in the street from 5pm until 7pm to answer questions or initiate discussion with the local community. In the past week, we cleaned a plot of land, planted indigenous plants, installed infrastructures of care such as seatings, furniture to squeeze oranges as well as an elevated platform. We hope to make a small gesture that can perdure in the public space and initiate a discussion about Athens’ urban landscape.
