CURRENT Athens is an online platform for the non-hierarchical promotion of contemporary art.
Soft Walls
Latent Community
At Soft Walls, we invite artists and curators that inhabit Athens permanently, occasionally or momentarily to share excerpts, points, reasonings and thoughts around their practice in the context of an artist talk.
Soft Walls function as listening and exchanging platforms, invitations and opportunities to meet, share and fill the space with words and thoughts that we consider vehicles and catalysts for our shared experiences.
This month's Soft Walls present artist duo Latent Community, on Tuesday March 26th at 19.00.
Language: Greek
Duration: 45 minutes
Latent Community is the interdisciplinary artist duo by visual artists and filmmakers Sotiris Tsiganos and Ionian Bisai. They work with moving image in research-based projects as a tool to explore issues of social, political and ecological justice. Their interdisciplinary practice integrates extensive fieldwork with relational strategies and performative sequences as means to render forgotten memories, to amplify unheard voices and to explore overlooked ecosystems.
Their work has been presented internationally in exhibitions and festivals, including: Athens Biennale (2017); documenta 14–Public Programs (2017); Sharjah Film Platform–Sharjah Art Foundation (2019); Recontemporary art space in Turin (2019); Thessaloniki Documentary Festival (2020); PCAI–Polyeco Contemporary Art Initiative (2020); School of Waters–Mediterranea 19 Young Artists Biennale (2021); and the 23rd Biennale of Sydney: Rīvus (2022). They have been granted awards by LOOP Barcelona, Sharjah Art Foundation, ARTWORKS-SNF Artist Fellowship Program and The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Public Humanities Initiative (SNFPHI) at Columbia University and have participated in residency programmes such as the Caravan Residency Program (Cittadellarte–Fondazione Pistoletto & Centre for Fine Arts–Bozar).
A SELECTION OF PALESTINIAN LITERATURE
The Palestinian-American historian and writer, Rashid Khalidi, notes that literature has the power to reveal the lived-experience of people.
In an effort to learn, share, preserve and primarily, not forget, Enterprise Projects will be hosting from now on a selection of Palestinian literature, that will be constantly enriched and activated in public and not-public ways.
