But, S/He Indorsed the Sheen

The artists and designers in the exhibition but, s/he indorsed the sheen present their urgent need for action, healing, and togetherness. Collected, the artworks fearlessly respond to the potential consequences of heatwave attacks caused by climate change and appeal for real action and a shift in mentality.

But, s/he indorsed the sheen invites you to follow the various traces to the exhibition’s core, the fearless search for HOPE. By working with VR therapy, immersive video installation, post-climate dining experience, and other various media, the artists explore and offer new ways of living together in the post-climate time. Their multidisciplinary practices move between virtual and physical environments, draw on non-linear narratives, and integrate elements of future world-making while facing climate change risks.

More information on the extensive program involving building a self-cooling green roof and bringing a climate change educational course to a school in Athens will follow here soon.

This exhibition is co-created and co-curated by the whole team of artists; the co-creation process manifests togetherness as the HOPE we are looking for and building on.
