Cinesthesia is interested in participating in cooperation projects related to the “European Year of Cultural heritage 2018”.
Organization: Social Cooperative Enterprise Cinesthesia
The Social Cooperative Enterprise Cinesthesia was founded in 2015 on the initiative of curator Filia Milidaki and is based in Syros- Ermoupoli Municipality. Its objectives are the development and promotion of contemporary culture and its connection to public space and the community through artistic and educational productions.
Cinesthesia is experimenting with art in public space with the vision to create a vibrant experience. Public art awakens and mobilizes collective consciousness in relation to social responsibility and interaction issues. The art itself, the citizen and the location become an active unity. Innate imagination and artistic ability of the viewer reanimate. We aim at involving audiences and artists with a free and synesthetic way [Cinesthesia = Synesthesia: when a stimulus mobilizes multiple senses].
Project: Different cities – One Europe!
We aim at creating a cultural exchange among three European cities/ locations. Their common ground is not a specific chronological moment of reference, but [here is the important]: When economic, commercial or industrial development met with cultural wealth because of intense interactions with Europe. During 19th century the city of Ermoupolis in Greece reflected a succeed story: A blooming economy due to its leadership in the Shipping industry, commerce and manufacturing sector went hand to hand with a tremendous cultural development that turned Ermoupolis into a “little Paris” in Greece. Its present outstanding architectural legacy derives from that time. We would like to work together with three other European cities that at a precise historic time lived that “happy moment” of cultural development because of economic progress not in the isolation but in close interaction with Europe.
