Join our art space in Lefkada, Greece

  Descrição

  This is an art space in Lefkada, Ionian Islands, Greece, organizing and hosting educational programs, workshops, and artistic residencies for groups of up to 30 people. The organization focuses on dance education, research, and creation, engaging in an active dialogue with the sociopolitical landscape of everyday life. Our vision is to create a meeting point for people and practices that value nature, honor sensorial experiences, welcome diverse corporealities, and dare to reflect through others.
  
  The project is the vision and creation of Kyveli and Yorgos , two dance artists and movement educators from Greece who envisioned a wooded piece of land as a meeting place for moving and sensing experiences. The concept of the place arose from a deep need to reconnect with nature and to meet a community of similar interests and quests. The idea was conceived in October 2021 when there was nothing but trees on the land and by the summer of 2022 the first program became a reality! None of what followed would have been possible without the help of friends and family who supported us every step of the way.
  
  Our deepest desire is to grow slowly yet firmly, like a cypress tree, rooting deeply in a sustainable approach that respects and nourishes otherness. We aspire to be part of a ‘forest-like’, broader ecosystem, alongside like-minded individuals and their trajectories.

  About the village:
  Neohori is a mountain village (300m) of Lefkada, about 5km from Nidri. Serenity and impressive view as well as absence of shops are distinguishing features of the village. Instead, there is plenty of green, four springs and a number of paths which are taken care of by the village community every year. This village was once abandoned by the locals, when they gradually began to approach the coastal areas. Years later, around the early 80's, it was rediscovered by people looking for a quiet place close to nature. Somehow it started to attract hippies, artists, people from different parts of the world and finally a community was created. Today only a few of the families that first settled there remain in the village, but new ones have come, creating a mixture of people and cultures. In recent years, Cultural Association has been activated and the old school of the village has been renovated, where various activities take place, such as exhibitions, presentations, film screenings, festivals, seminars, etc. Especially in the summer months the village hosts a lot of people from different parts of the world! We hope that our art space will bring life to our village and become a meeting point for artists, educators and practitioners from all over the world!
