On 19 October, one day before the closing of the exhibition space of togetherness, the Afro-Greek protagonists of the collective community project in progress the AfroGreeks organise an evening combining moving image with dance and music, at the open air theatre of the Drama School of the Greek National Theatre.
17:00-20:00 The Art of Now | Dancing in the space of togetherness | dance battles
Dancers Mikel Ergar & Kofi Yiadom – protagonists of the project the AfroGreeks – organize and present The Art of Now.
35 street artists from across Greece are competing in a dance battle that breaks boundaries and prejudice, claims the right to express through art and initiates a dialogue between the exhibition, the artists, the artworks and the Greek underground hip-hop dance scene.
Judges | Mc Prince, Dida Dee and Chocolate Maffin
DJ set | Kofi
20:00-23:00 Singing in the space of togetherness | Concert
The protagonists of the collective work in progress the AfroGreeks put together a concert specially designed for the exhibition space of togetherness that contains a loud and clear musical message against racism and prejudice while claiming their right to be Greek artists of different origins. The artistic practice of the group Døcumatism, starting from the moving image, creates on the theatre stage a platform for experimentation in a wide range of music (gospel, soul, funk, hip hop, afrobeat, jazz and rap to Greek traditional music) and invites the exhibition’s viewers to participate creatively by expanding the dialogues of its themes.
Participants | Adédèjì, Steven Aderinto, Aggelos Aggelou, Chocolate Maffin & Kofi, Monika Kabasele, Jerome Kaluta, Idra Kayne, MC Yinka, Moose, The Roots, Tosin, Voices of Diaspora Choir, Zeraw.
