Athens City Center
9 -11 May 2011
Research-curator: Lina Stergiou
Athens Here and Now pilot actions rewrite the city center historic traces, explore the potentialities of participation and appropriation of public space by diverse social groups and empower minority ones. Resulting from research, academic workshops and curatorship, a network of video projections on public buildings and squares took place in downtown Athens under the umbrella of Athens Art Week, the Hellenic Ministry for Culture and Tourism, and presented at Futur En Seine Festival, Paris, June 17-26, 2011. The academic workshops have been realized with the Athens School of Fine Arts, March-June 2011 (Vicky Betsou/ASFA, Lina Stergiou – Digital Art and Activism); and with the Université de Paris 8/CITU research center of Paragraphe laboratory, March-June 2011 (Maurice Benayoun and Robin Gareus/CITU, Lina Stergiou – Social Collider). The final selection of the participants has been conducted by a Committee comprised of: George Harvalias (Dean of the Athens School of Fine Arts), Spiros Raftopoulos (Head of the School of Architecture, National Technical University of Athens), Lina Stergiou (Architect, Initiator/Curator AAO project)
