Participatory Experiential Event
Emilia Bouriti, visual artist, performance artist, and originator of the international project “Amoli,” presents the first part of the program titled Agricultural Imprints of Aspropyrgos, A Collective Project in the Rural, Post-Industrial, Multicultural Community of Aspropyrgos.
Through a series of site-specific performances, the project brings to the surface the rural and multicultural elements within a participatory framework where artists, farmers, immigrants, and the broader public create an experiential, collective, artistic work taking place in the fields of Aspropyrgos.
This is an artistic action where, through elements of performance, visual installation, screenings, narration, the dynamics of the landscape, and the spiritual and multicultural contributions of social groups such as the Arvanite farmers and the Pontians of the Gorytsa neighborhood, participants experientially explore the relationship of the body with cultivated food, soil, seeds, landscape, memory, and the history of places, building a meaningful code of communication among them.
Inspired by the dynamics of the city of Aspropyrgos, which reflects international economic and social trends, the project Agricultural Imprints of Aspropyrgos hopes to create new models of collectivity and an expanded field for individual and collective expression.
