*community projects, site-specific performances, knowledge sharing
WHAT WE DO
is an artistic/research/community platform, developed by the not-for-profit organization ‘Ohi Pezoume Performing Arts Company’, based in Athens, Greece. It acts within the intersection of qualitative research, artistic interventions and community actions. During every project, community engagement and participatory mapping practices serve as foundation for building site-specific performances in public space.
WHY
*create a unique
performative scenario
UrbanDig Project employs art and intangible cultural heritage as a common language that becomes a tool for the community to co-create urban space.
UrbanDig projects start as an intrinsic need/urge to dig under the visible urban mosaic towards its invisible layers and beyond the “formal” visible narratives, in the process of collecting an undiscovered local material and transforming it into a site-specific scenario. It creates a unique site-specific content based on the past, present and future of urban areas. It’s the intentional reflection by site-specific performance on the invisible part of the local history, the cultural capital of a neighborhood, bringing people from various ages, backgrounds and disciplines together to collect, map and publically present their local cultural capital. The relationships built through the collaborative process, become the strongest element of inspiration.
