During the exhibition space of togetherness, NEON creates a unique living laboratory from the cohabitation of the activities of the Drama School, the exhibition and a versatile public programme, open to the public at the Drama School of the National Theatre of Greece | School of Athens – Irene Papas.

The first week of the program is dedicated to the exhibiting artists.

On Thursday 12 September at 6:30pm, Elina Kountouri, curator of the exhibition, will discuss with South African-born artist, Igshaan Adams.

Igshaan Adams’s hand-woven installations and tapestries address complex personal and communal histories that reflect his identity as a queer person of mixed race and religion, and growing up in Bonteheuwel, a racially segregated part of Cape Town during apartheid. space of togetherness brings together a selection of his earlier works and a new commission that will evolve during the duration of the show, activating the exhibition space.

The exhibition space of togetherness, curated by Elina Kountouri, Director NEON, raises some of the most pressing issues facing Europe and the world today. Safety, wars, climate change, socio-political conditions but also global demographic and economic status push towards a movement of people, cultures and ideas and shape our world as a space of flows through the interaction and diversity of cultures. space of togetherness is an exhibition of stories from the intersection of race, politics, and the rights of individuals and communities.
