The conference will bring together 16 speakers from abroad and an exhibition in NeMe art center.

“AiNA” comes to life as an IRL simulation of the artist’s post-photographic Ai body of work “Performing anatomies”. Phialas’ work & improvisations with the performers are based on images & videos of her Latest custom trained AI model. While the majority of creations within this collection take the form of still images which are not yet released, the inception of AiNa marks the artist’s initial venture into creating an IRL simulation in the genre of performance/installation based on this Ai model.
Finissage of the “FIXED CLOUD” exhibition and open talk with art group Collapse
FIXED CLOUD - the inaugural exhibition of the art collective Collapse features the works of three artists, namely Sasha Slepchuk, Masha Adamova, and Skolzki. What makes this project truly unique is that each piece you'll see was created by all three artists at the same time. They work with paper and canvases, incorporate the elements typical for their art styles, pass the work on to each other, or create it simultaneously by all three of them, uniting individual languages into a common one. To know more join curatorial tour by ARTNOW and artist talk.
When: Saturday, 4/11, 10 am-1 pm and 4 pm-7 pm, open talk ar 4 pm

Backflip.Wave.Splash. Performance - live concert by Marios Pavlou
A performance juxtaposing, reconstructing, and mixing electronic sounds with lyrics inspired by the Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, creating narratives on the often unsettling experience of the physical within the social body. Images and songs that unravel from a stream of consciousness informed by gender fluidity and the rediscovery of a body. The voice becomes the mediator of these thoughts and emotions; to share experiences of desire, identification, and sexuality through performance, moving image, writing, and music.
When: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 24-26/11, 8 pm
Where: Mitos Center of Performing Arts, Old Vinegar Factory, Genethliou Mitella, 34

The opening event of EVROVIZION crossing stories and spaces
The co-creative exhibition explores the current social and political situation in Europe and the idea of a European identity. EVROVIZION focuses on less visible and marginalised geopolitical and cultural spaces, in particular in southeastern and eastern Europe. These are so-called “semi-peripheries” and “places of diversity” that often play only a minor role in many international theoretical discourses and exhibition practices. In close cooperation with regional protagonists and each local art scene, new artistic projects are being added to the exhibition during its tour.
When: Saturday, 11/11, 7 pm. The exhibition will be open until 10/2, Tuesday–Saturday 10 am-9 pm
