Some weeks ago, I and my partners in crime “LAFRI on art and beyond” launched the call for “The Urge of Being” on the sea, creative expedition and workshop on the sailing boat LAFRI in Greece.
I am very happy to announce that we are ready to go! The group is formed and we are organizing the expedition! 🙂
We received a lot of interest for this project by many people, so we decided to launch a second call for the “coming back” expedition from 29.06.2024 to 06.07.2024!! more..
We are like the spider. We weave our life and then move along in it. We are like the dreamer who dreams and then lives in the dream.

This is a week-long workshop aimed at dreamers of all kinds, wherein we shall attempt to trace the ancient thread that weaves the natural element of water to dreaming, and to allow ourselves to be claimed by the voices of the non-human intelligences of Syros island.
A truth generally accepted in the sailing community is that the sway of a boat and the sounds of the water licking it tend to facilitate deeper dreaming; sailors report more vivid, vibrant dreams, with a hint of the numinous peeking through. Broken down to its fundamentals, a sailing voyage can be experienced as a play between the velocity of air and the mobility of water. more..

Dear artists, adventurous souls, pirates and friends,
I hope you are doing well and I have a proposal for you all.
A video poem is a form of video-art that transforms words into images and that also translates written feelings into short experimental videos.
We will start this adventure by making creative writing exercises, to open our hearts and minds to the immensity of the sea so we can be more in touch with our inner feelings. There is no strict form, our aim is to have a free flow of our words and find the best way to express ourselves. more…
