Athens Biennale Artistic director and Programme Director

How can art and cultural institutions contribute to this moment of radical change? How can they rethink their traditional institutional structures and build grassroots, discursive, dispersed and processual forms of cultural production?

Building on its tradition of independent, cross-disciplinary and discursive cultural institution, under Mollona's directorship, the Athens Biennale run over two years through an ongoing programme of residencies, talks and laboratories in key neighborhoods of Athens. Within the framework of “OMONOIA” the Biennale hosted various cultural and activist groups that deal with issues of coproduction, self-organisation and urban commoning and also function as an institutional space where the realm of the political is reframed through the lenses of art.
