Brave as a noun

Fluid dreams, dreams that remain, dreams that are co-created and co-defined, dreams that gain substance and become primal material for artistic production and practice constitute the “Dream Archives” of the homonymous exhibition presented at MOMus-Experimental Center for the Arts, as the outcome of INSPIRE PROJECT 2020.
The exhibition included works of the invited artist, Mary Zygouri, selected from her recent artistic production, dating from 2014 until today, that are directly related to the content and practices of the workshop entitled "Dream Archives". Τhe exhibition also included new artworks produced during the workshop by the young participating artists or recent Fine Arts School graduates: Katerina Anastasiou, Maria Andrikopoulou, Nicoletta Angelidou, Zoi Antypa, Dimitra Charizani, Nikos Efstathoulidis, Eirini Fotiadi, Christina Kapetaniou, Fousti Lamé, Giorgos Michalopoulos, Katerina Moschou, Sofia Moutafi, Stefania Patrikiou, Georgia Pilali, Thanasis Sampaziotis, Ano Theodoroglou, Konstantinos Terzis and Anastasia Tsalpatourou.
The launch of 2020's INSPIRE PROJECT workshop entitled "Dream Archives: Dreams as a primal material for artistic production and practice" was realised online on July 6, with the introduction to the thematic and research field of the workshop, as well as the recording of participants' dreams. On July 13, the collective and performative part of the workshop began. Mary Zygouri, following open pedagogical method, approached the plan of cooperation and joint learning in the fluid urban and natural landscape of Thessaloniki. The hidden paths of water in the city, in relation to the fluidity of the Dream, become the field of action and artistic experimentation of the workshop. Through performative and site-specific practices, the collective experience -sensory, aesthetic, associative, momentary, dreamy- interacted and co-shaped the works of the 18 young artists presented in the exhibition.

Inspire Project is co-financed by Greece and the European Union (European Regional Development Fund).
