Piraeus - Athens

Fouad Boussouf's works sit at the meeting point of hip-hop, contemporary, and traditional practices. A teacher as much as a choreographer, he gives transmission a fundamental place. Each piece is conceived together with its accompanying set of practical workshops open to all audiences. These allow the works to be experienced differently, extending the spectator's experience and enriching it. °Up is no exception and can be adapted in many forms.

Invited by the Art Explora Foundation, the MAGMA collective unveils magmaXplora, an immersive performance where DJ sets and VJing intertwine in a journey through the marine imagination. As the sounds and moving visuals unfold, the audience drifts into the ocean’s depths—among the abyss and bioluminescence, underwater eruptions and pillow lavas—until the boundaries between the living, the mineral, and the imaginary dissolve.

A dance workshop exploring plastic and its impact on living beings, for all publics Inspired by images of marine animals trapped in plastic waste, this workshop was born from underwater observations in the Mediterranean and Red Sea, where plastic proliferates even in protected areas. In duet with a light plastic sheet, participants are invited to reflect on our habits and the way we inhabit our environment.

In this interactive workshop, participants will become both artists and curators as they design their very own “Museum of Me.” Using a variety of provided materials, each participant will explore his/her personal history, identity, and imagination to create exhibitions that reflect who they are and what matters most to them. Through drawing, collage, writing, and object-making, participants will craft artifacts and displays that capture memories, dreams, and defining moments. The workshop is based on Eleni Geroulanou book “Nikiforos explores emotions, based on the Cycladic figurines.  

The workshop continues the artist’s practice on participation as a tool for investigating citizenship. The formed group of participants will learn how to produce a community radio show, narrate, discuss and record together and form questions on our everyday life and the experience of residents of Piraeus, with a focus on communities that experiences migration either in 1920’s and its legacies or very recent experiences. Through the use of sound, music and mapping, we will explore the present soundscape of Piraeus, producing for a future, through sharing experiences, poetry and music.
