Latent Community

Bio

Latent Community is the interdisciplinary artist duo by visual artists and filmmakers Sotiris Tsiganos and Ionian Bisai. They work with moving image in research-based projects as a tool to explore issues of social, political and ecological justice. Their interdisciplinary practice integrates extensive fieldwork with relational strategies and performative sequences as means to render forgotten memories, to amplify unheard voices and to explore overlooked ecosystems.

Their work has been presented internationally in exhibitions and festivals, including: 6th Athens Biennale (2017); documenta 14–Public Programs (2017); Sharjah Film Platform–Sharjah Art Foundation (2019); Recontemporary art space in Turin (2019); Thessaloniki Documentary Festival (2020); PCAI–Polyeco Contemporary Art Initiative (2020); School of Waters–Mediterranea 19 Young Artists Biennale (2021); and the 23rd Biennale of Sydney: Rīvus (2022). They have been granted awards by LOOP Barcelona, Sharjah Art Foundation, ARTWORKS-SNF Artist Fellowship Program and The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Public Humanities Initiative (SNFPHI) at Columbia University and have participated in residency programmes such as the Caravan Residency Program (Cittadellarte–Fondazione Pistoletto & Centre for Fine Arts–Bozar).

Latent Community are participants of The School of Infinite Rehearsals of Onassis AiR 2020-21 and of the Tailor-made Fellowships program 2022-23.
