Over a week in Athens, Anna Konjetzky will be researching with a mix of local dance artists aswell as artists from the German based team Quindell Orton and Sahra Huby) that group will be joined by Athens based artists including Mariela Nestora, Elpida Karaba and Thanos Papadogiannis who will join to provide specific inputs/lectures/workshops during the research. This is the second year and second satellite-city location of the Nomadic Academy research (Wroclaw, Poland-2019). In Athens the Nomadic Academy will continue its research around alternative spaces, free spaces, alternative roads and border(s), under the heading ‚mapping the unseen’ using a range of practical and theoretical methods.

We take, as a starting point, the covered rivers in Athens, which run under the city. We will be researching around visibilities and representation, around power structures, and borders (within a society, within a city). We take the question of the covered rivers, to question general politics and body politics, where does it happen to hide things, to push out of the field of vision, because it is not ‚clean‘ enough.
So who cleans what? and who? and who cleans up after us? (waste, queer visibility, human waste…)
The research will be hosted and in collaboration with the Duncun Dance center and the APARÄMILLON
