Announcement
Τhe session "Dreams & Data: Can we dream with our bodies when we breathe data?" that was scheduled on June 24, is canceled.
In this series of talks we explore the boundaries of public dialogue in public space, by inviting a series of thinkers, scientists, artists, and practitioners to discuss the three main themes of the exhibition, i.e. Bodies, Dreams, and Data.
In each session, an Onassis Scholar is coupled with internationally acclaimed speakers to select artworks that resonate with their practice and relate to different artworks presented in the “Plásmata” exhibition. In addition, in collaboration with Onassis AiR, professor Jasbir Puar presents her work on Homonationalism expanding within the context of the discussion of the body as a political space, as presented by the “Plásmata” exhibition.
