Under austerity, heavy surveillance and stringent migration policies in the urban space of Athens, a similar space was created on the initiative of artist Maria Papadimitrou, with the help of artists, architects, designers, NGO workers and immigrants. Entitled Souzy Tros, it was established as a food/sewing/art/design space based on the free exchange of labour. Artist Maria Papadimitrou’s equates to a vision of a “coming community”, a community that seems impossible to form but appears in a collective imaginary through everyday life practices.
The Embassy is a project created for this exhibition by Souzy Tros initiation (Maria Papadimitriou, Yorgos Rimenidis, Ilias Karniaris). The project will offer a variety of events and will also provide a meeting point for the workshops scheduled to take place during the exhibition.
