Cypher → 08.05.12.16. — Exhibition by Eliza Krikoni
What does danger look like? Can you hear it? Does it smell? Can you touch it? For each person, the answer to these questions is different, thus determining the prism through which they will approach and experience this exhibition. In the project "08.05.12.16." Elisa Krikoni focuses on the concept of danger, the need to call for help, and possible ways of survival, intertwining her qualities as a visual artist and performer.The body, sound or narrative play both a symbolic and vital role in the artworks, inviting visitors to interact with them in order to explore the messages they carry and confront the emotions that accompany them. The information provided for the decoding of visual, tactile and audio messages is deliberately schematic, referring to the immediacy and non-verbal signals used to communicate nautical emergencies. Come closer to open the first aid kit, stretch the rubber band, make some bubbles and break the code of communication!

Driven by a commitment to inclusivity and community, its primary goal is to foster horizontal relationships that bridge individuals and networks from various fields, professions, and backgrounds as well as to promote emerging and under-represented artists. It aims to cultivate a vibrant and open environment where artists, thinkers, and audiences can engage with art that challenges, inspires, and connects people across different genders, ethnicities, classes, and interests. Cypher is an art space dedicated to fostering dialogue and raising awareness on critical social issues such as identity, activism, inequality, and mental health issues. Through diverse and multidisciplinary art practices, Cypher seeks to engage with these pressing topics, encouraging thoughtful reflection and meaningful conversations. Exhibitions, screenings, and workshops will be held around these themes, aiming to deepen our understanding of art's societal impact through bridging personal and collective experience and expression, trying to create a more coherent and integrated narrative of human experience through artistic practice. Founded in the heart of one of Athens' most vibrant and multicultural neighborhoods, Cypher is deeply committed to respecting and honouring the community that gave birth to it.
