The collective of artists with and without disabilities En δυνάμει, in collaboration with Okay Initiative Space in Athens and with the support of PPC

During the month of October, the En Dynami group was in the first stage of the artistic research process in order to collect material and ideas for its new art installation entitled Dive in deep, under the artistic direction of Eleni Demopoulou.

The inspiration for the project was Michael Kliën's text "The Story of the Polar Bear". Unsung heroes, "polar bears", isolated in their own space, common actions with a content that is necessarily banal. As each one really is.

The space between. I divide the world into the known and the unknown. A separation that is both existential - narrowly spatial geographical and imaginary. The distance between what I know and what I don't know. The space where my reality can change. The map. The way I can recognize the world. My cosmology. The relationships. That which contains me, that which accepts me. What I accept and what I consciously or unconsciously reject. The unknown. What I don't know, what I can't even imagine. Signs.

The group En Dynami, a mixed independent artistic group consisting of members with and without disabilities, in the context of promoting the educational and social role of theatre, organizes from 3 to 9 August 2015 the weekly educational-artistic programme "Jubilo" on the theme "The space between us".

This particular project poses essential questions around the issue of the construction of the self, that is, it places issues of identity in a context much broader than the conventional boundaries of contemporary art. If contemporary art is a vehicle for different experiences of the world, the project "Home; the small-small house" can make a decisive contribution in this direction and enrich the environment of contemporary artistic creation and reception.
