paraspito residency.
(EN)We are thrilled to launch our new artist residency project in Afetes, Pelion. Paraspito Residency will host international artists to collectively create, (re)think, (un)learn, exchange and research on commonal practices and techniques, local traditions, natural environments and their organisms, plants, animals and more-than-humans.
Architectural term originally denoting the traditional Pelion “side house”, a living space that is both inside and outside, Paraspito indicates a direction, a perspective, a point of view that allows us to examine the familiar (οικείο) from a critical distance, while not losing our intrinsic connection to it.
This year we welcome members of the Dutch collective Flujas Edwin De Klein and Louisa Vergozisi to explore and reflect with us on the “unpredictable movement of water”, co-creating in situ artworks about the incessant flows, here, there, above, below, inside and outside.
Stay tuned for more details, open calls and ways to participate!
