φαινομενα Anafi: a short film by Alexandra Masmanidi

φαινόμενα is a one-week program of contemporary art that took place on the Aegean island of Anafi, Greece, between 5–12 July, 2021, in collaboration with the invited art spaces 3 137, EIGHT, Enterprise Projects, The Island Club and State of Concept Athens, from Greece and Cyprus. It reflects and responds to a period where space, social interactions, travel, and scale, have been warped and revealed as constructs of institutional powers and it hopes to explore these times as an opportunity to rethink space, in particular public space, not as an external container, but as something that both gets created by and shapes bodies in a continuous, political struggle.
