Revolt and Crisis in Greece
REVOLT AND CRISIS IN GREECE BETWEEN A PRESENT YET TO PASS AND A FUTURE STILL TO COME How does a revolt come about and what does it leave behind? What impact does it have on those who participate in it and those who simply watch it? Is the Greek revolt of December 2008 confined to the shores of the Mediterranean, or are there lessons we can bring to bear on social action around the globe? Revolt and Crisis in Greece: Between a Present Yet to Pass and a Future Still to Come is a collective attempt to grapple with these questions. A collaboration between anarchist publishing collectives Occupied London and AK Press, this timely new volume traces Greece’s long moment of transition from the revolt of 2008 to the economic crisis that followed. In its twenty chapters, authors from around the world—including those on the ground in Greece—analyse how December became possible, exploring its legacies and the position of the social antagonist movement in face of the economic crisis and the arrival of the International Monetary Fund. In the essays collected here, over two dozen writers offer historical analysis of the factors that gave birth to December and the potentialities it has opened up in face of the capitalist crisis. Yet the book also highlights the dilemmas the antagonist movement has been faced with since: the book is an open question and a call to the global antagonist movement, and its allies around the world, to radically rethink and redefine our tactics in a rapidly changing landscape where crises and potentialities are engaged in a fierce battle with an uncertain outcome.

Athens Biennale 2015 ― 2017 OMONOIA) and Will Take Place at the Onassis Cultural Centre - Athens (27 May) and at Bageion (28 May)
Athens Biennale 2015 ― 2017 Synapse 2: Rethinking Institutional Critique – Α View from the South INTERNATIONAL SUMMIT Ιn this Summit, we explore the role of art institutions and cultural organisations, as well as that of the bio-poli- tics and political economy of late capitalism. In the current context of global dispossession, austerity, inequality, indebtedness, conspicuous consumption, zero hour work, extreme financialisation and privatisation of life, what kind of institutions should art biennials be? Where should they look for their public and political constituen- cies? What kind of practices should they nurture? What forms of sociability, relationality and political imagi- naries should they foster? Where shall they draw the boundaries, if any, between their inside and their outside? We invited leading international scholars, artists, activists and cultural organisations to think together new insti- tutional formats, value forms and ways of working together by embracing the perspective of Europe’s south. This south is not a fixed locality, but a broad geopolitical formation that includes the Middle East and Eastern Europe and exists outside Europe’s centre and from which we ask the speakers to situate themselves and find a common vocabulary as a new point of departure. Co-programmed by Massimiliano Mollona and Stephanie Bailey The Athens Biennale 2015 – 2017 OMONOIA continues its creative collaboration with the National Theatre of Greece, which hosts the Summit of Synapse 2 on Friday April 15th at the New Rex.

Tuesday, April 20, 2021 Artist Talk with Eva
Tuesday, April 20, 2021 Artist Talk with Eva Giannakopoulou In the frame of p o s t documenta: contemporary arts as territorial agencies Screening materials 1. Eva Giannakopoulou, Kin Baby, work in progress Video, Kin FUTURE N.O.W, Onassis-Stegi Foundation, Athens, Greece, 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhfwWH4vgZc About: This world no longer exists. A nightclub is all that remains. On the Onassis-Stegi Main Stage, in Neos Kosmos (the “new world”), in a city once called Stegi. Here, what’s left of planet Earth’s biodiversity is renewing itself. Here, a new world order is coming into being, where microorganisms, bacteria, plants, animals, humanoids, and abiotic beings are evolving on an equal footing to establish a singular biopolitical environment. Colorful neon lighting, flashing lights and bubbles, rave music, Australian didgeridoos, and drums. An amorphous composted mass gradually pushes forth diverse organisms that give themselves over to choreography that is erotic and intense. Non-gendered half-naked humanoids, hybrid objects, beings and bacteria of indeterminate form are all readying for the emergence of a new species. A creature that gives birth to performers who surrender themselves nervily to absurd actions, and two poets who expound interpretations of the new species coming into being. A rapper sings to us of the future, creating a music medley that serves as the work’s climax. 2. Eva Giannakopoulou, Dogman’s Dream, video, 3’23’’, 2020 Commissioned for “THE RIGHT TO SILENCE?”, December 30, 2020 – July 31, 2021, Anya and Andrew Shiva Gallery, John Jay College, CUNY https://vimeo.com/538591484 About: “Dog dreams often have to do with the basic instinct towards friendship, loyalty, and protection.

Creative Disability Classification Systems
Creative disability classification systems To the memory of Antonis Pavlis Studies from the Swedish Institute for Disability Research 87 ANTONIA PAVLI Creative disability classification systems The case of Greece, 1990-2015 Cover photo: Stelios Petros Chalas © Antonia Pavli, 2017 Title: Creative disability classification systems: The case of Greece, 1990-2015 Publisher: Örebro University 2017 www.publications.oru.se Print: Örebro University, Repro 8/2017 ISSN 1650-1128 ISBN 978-91-7529-204-5 Abstract Antonia Pavli (2017): Creative disability classification systems: The case of Greece, 1990-2015. Studies from the Swedish Institute for Disability Research 87. Disability classification systems belong to the core of states’ social/disability policies through which persons with disabilities are classified as eligible or ineligible for having access to disability allowances. The study of disability classification systems has stimulated the interest of several scholars from the broader area of disability studies. Either by conducting comparative studies between different states and describing the similarities and differences of these systems around the world or by conducting studies focusing on the politics and semantics in the development of disability classification systems in specific states, all studies have shown a pluralism in the systems for as- sessing and certifying disability. In Greece, the development of disability classification systems for social welfare reasons emerged as a controversy that lasted for almost twenty years. One factor that strengthened the con- troversy was the outbreak of the economic crisis late in 2009 followed by the announcement by the governmental authorities of the enactment of a new system for assessing and certifying disability as part of the austerity- driven policies that the Greek state would enact for facing the consequences of the economic crisis.
