Cittadellarte - Fondazione Pistoletto |
May 13 - 20, 2023
︎︎︎Residency
︎︎︎ Organised by UNIDEE Residency Programs and Cittadellarte Fondazione Pistoletto |
UNIDEE Residency Programs and Cittadellarte - Fondazione Pistoletto residency module in the programme Neither on Land not at Sea. Meeting by the Mediterranean Im/Possible, curated by UNIDEE Visiting Curator Chiara Cartuccia.
Neither on Land nor at Sea invites to meander around unreducible complications and on shifting grounds, to explore together ways in which geography is historically, socially, and politically produced. The project pluralises Mediterranean concepts/spaces as sites of worldmaking and experimentation in communal living. To do so, it adopts un-grounded geographies and colliding historicities as meeting places, in which to congregate to elaborate on the role played by situated practices and shared processes in the promotion of social transformations, towards epistemic justice.
G. & A. Mamidakis Foundation Research Residency |
October 15-22, 2022
The first edition of the G&A Mamidakis Foundation Research Residency Program, which took place between 15-22 October, 2022, in Agios Nikolaos, Crete, was a week-long intensive residency promoting creative interaction among cultural practitioners. It brought together nine professionals from the fields of fine art, performance, curating, writing, research, cultural production, and graphic design, who explored recent research around the themes of Care/Eudaimonia, and how we can all work together to redefine care, resulting in a more caring world. The residency program was shaped around discussions and workshops organised by invited lecturers, during which the participants debated about critical current issues including the crisis of social care and healthcare in Greece and abroad, the gradual shrinking of the welfare state, the refugee crisis, the pandemic, and the environmental crisis, as well as the secondary traumas of carers, the lack of (their) care, and ‘care washing’.
Residents: Maita Chatziioanidou, Christos Chrysanthopoulos, Ariana Kalliga, Dina Ntziora, Foivos Oikonomidis, Eleni Riga, Georgia Sagri, Mariana Stefanitsi, Nikolas Vamvouklis

Ashkal Alwan Home Workspace Program
March 2-11, 2022
︎︎︎ Workshop Participant (Online)
By negotiating visibility and erasure, complexity and abstraction, documentation and fiction, maps oscillate between the desire to see, and the need to bring forth, worlds and realities. Often produced from positions of power and knowledge, maps are inherently politically motivated instruments, deployed to describe and prescribe carefully chosen objects, relationships, and possibilities.

AFA Masterclass: The Institutional Collapse
November 26 - 30, 2020
@Online Masterclass
︎︎︎Participating Curator
For its second edition, AfA Masterclass proceeds with the proposition that institutions have no intrinsic value in society. At a tipping point, communities worldwide are “on the march” - protesting issues including economic collapse, structural racism, forms of colonialism, ecological disaster, corruption, and femicide. In the face of this, institutions appear increasingly anemic, many buckling under the economic and political strain. Others are facing intensified scrutiny for amplifying structural disadvantage and failing to serve community needs. The Institutional Collapse was led by Advising Artists: Noah Fischer, Jeanne van Heeswijk, Amin Husain and Nitasha Dhillon (MTL Collective), Vivien Sansour.
A total of 20 international artists and curators working across a broad range of practices, and from diverse backgrounds and geographies, were selected through an open call to participate in the program.
What Could Should Curating Do?
July 14 - August 14, 2020
@ Belgrade, Serbia
︎︎︎Curatorial Program Participant
What Could/Should Curating Do? is the first international program for emerging curators in Belgrade, Serbia. Founded in 2018 by Biljana Ciric, the program aims to situate curatorial practice within the specific contextual framework of the region, while also providing insights to the wider international framework related to exhibition-making practices on both a theoretical and practical level. The project is conceived as an annual program of curatorial workshops, lectures, and studio visits, all with the intention to bring together key international and local figures engaged in curatorial discourse, who are specifically able to offer important institutional knowledge and networks to the participants of the program. In collaboration with institutional and corporate partners, the intention of the project is to strengthen the next generation of curators and experts by helping them accumulate knowledge and establish new networks and partnerships through the program.
Mentors: Biljana Ciric, Nataša Petrešin-Bachelez and Maria Lind
