Because We Are Together (solo) GR

The National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens (EMST) is presenting the first in-depth presentation of Mikhail Karikis’ work in Greece with the title Because We Are Together. The exhibition is structured around six key audio-visual installations from Karikis’s work over the last decade which are complemented by selected smaller works, photographs, a library and texts. What they all share is a sense of polyphonic poetics in which separate narratives connect groups brought together by a sense of solidarity in their struggles for a better future. 28 Jan - 1 Oct 2023.
