Two participatory actions entitled “Living Photos” will take place in the context of the exhibition “Her Stories. Photographic Practices, 1974-2024” on Wednesday, September 11 at 18:00 and Sunday, September 15 at 11:30 at MOMus-Experimental Arts Center (Warehouse B1, Pier A, Thessaloniki Port area). The actions are organized by MOMus- Thessaloniki Museum of Photography and the AccessibleLimitlessLiving NGO, with free participation for the general public.
Works from the exhibition will “come to life” in front of the public through a group of people with visual impairment. Escaping the narrow limits of vision, the art of photography is intertwined with other senses such as hearing, touch, smell. In this way, it is redefined through a new perspective and opens up new paths of creation and perception.
The actions are part of the Art CHAIN - Art, Cultural Heritage, Accessibility and Inclusion project, which is implemented within the framework of the BUILD - Building a robust and democratic civic space program, with the implementing body being the Accessible Limitless Living NGO. BUILD is co-financed by the European Union, through the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) program, the Bodossaki Foundation and the NGO Support Centre - Cyprus.
The action is implemented by Nikos Argyros, Christina Blavaki, Nikos Brantis, Roudtina Debrova.
