Transformative Encounters, Eva Papamargariti, 2019

Untitled (unnoble materials), Virginia Mastrogiannaki, 2017

It moves and it shouts. In my head. Shhhhhhhhh, writes queer French author Guillaume Dustan [1965-2005], who delved into the hedonism of the nightclubs and politicized the state of desire, the drive for ecstatic celebration.

IT MOVES AND IT SHOUTS wants to talk about empathising, becoming hybrid — dancing bodies, dancing minds towards a political body. It investigates new ways of perceiving the world, contextualising knowledge as a situated experience, but also playing with and dissolving the idea of borders, somatic, geographical, online or offline. It is through desire and pleasure that we navigate through this world, contesting at the same time various hierarchies. The works bring into consideration class, race, gender and sexuality, ability and illness as intersectional and propose new ecologies of existence.

The exhibition brings together works by Dimitris Dokatzis, Virginia Mastrogiannaki (Fellow 2019), Eva Papamargariti (Fellow 2019), Theodoulos Polyviou & Kiss the Architect, Spyros Rennt, Korallia Stergides, Marina Miliou-Theocharaki, Leontios Toumpouris, Kyle Vu-Dunn, Marina Xenofontos.
