Our mission statement, our vision for the next six years and past period priorities.
We are a think tank, a production team, a creative community,we question the standards, experiment, learn by doing, we get rid of labels, push the boundaries, make space for new and exciting things to emerge.
We create playgrounds and utopias through contemporary visual and performing arts, media and civic actions for all creative misfits of today’s world.
We have been shaping the artistic identity and environment of our city through fresh, risk- taking cultural events, educational and research programs and by supporting young creative and cultural professionals, for the last 18 years, in a local and european level as well.
We encourage risk-taking artistic expression and support artists at all stages in their career. We constantly produce events that challenge the common perception of arts and spectacles. Our productions have taken place in our physical locations and their surroundings, which are all placed in the historical center of Athens, contributing significantly in its revival.
We have established strong and long lasting partnerships and collaborations with both local and European organisations. Our main goal is to make arts accesible to everyone, trigger genuine interest and offer compelling hands on educational and research programs -everything within the arts and culture context.
Through our community engagement events we have promoted social inclusion, diversity and gender equity.
We celebrate our past and invest in our creative future.
Every 6 years we reevaluate our mission and activities and we reform in order to stay relevant with todays cultural and social changes and support our peer artistic communities.

Social distancing measures are pushing the individual into issolation and detachment from society and reality. On a practical level everyday life seems stalled and work and general purpose are in question.
"If philosophy ever manifested itself as helpful, redeeming, or prophylactic, it was in a healthy culture. The sick, it made ever sicker."
