Book presentation & panel discussion: Jenny Marketou, Space for Marine Species

Join us Thursday, February 15, for the first Athens presentation of the bilingual book “Futuring Waters: A Speculative Manifesto for and from the Waters of Elefsina” by the New York based artist, educator, cultural producer and author Jenny Marketou. As part of the presentation, Marketou will moderate a discussion which will draw selectively from the book with a group of guests who contributed to her research. Her guests will include Julie Ward, Nadja Argyropoulou, Dimitra Ioannou, and Irakleia Peppa.

Alongside the event, an exhibition titled Space for Marine Species will bring together a video about The Hatchery Project with two sculptural creations made out of “tabby” an oyster shell and lime mix, a material that Marketou uses inspired by the artistic knowledge and traditions of native coastal peoples. In addition, the show will feature two free-hanging banners made out of recycled material. They will be shown for the first time in Athens, in Hyper Hypo’s project space, until February 27.
