Piraeus - Athens

Between port and open sea, this ambient set drifts with the voices of waves and unseen creatures. Electronic textures merge with the primal pulse of water, evoking both the vastness of the water element and the intimacy of its depths. A meditation on sea, sound, and femininity, where the ancient power of nature finds resonance in the present moment. Curated by HER x Project

Jacob Hurwitz-Goodman & Daniel Keller – The Seasteaders. In The Seasteaders, Jacob Hurwitz-Goodman and Daniel Keller examine the controversial “seasteading” movement, initiated by a group of libertarians seeking to build floating, tax-free cities as experimental societies beyond government control. While presented as solutions to governmental “stagnation” and climate change, the film reveals links to anti-democratic, techno-utopian, and alt-right ideologies. Through this screening, the Athens Biennale invites us to confront this uneasy entanglement and to question new forms of colonialism amid today’s global crises.

A physical and poetic performance that delves into the body’s memory, maternal legacy, and the silent weight of trauma. Through symbolic gestures, fragmented monologues, and intimate rituals with stone, water, and fabric, exploring themes of pain, resilience, and transformation. Blending personal narrative with collective emotion, the piece becomes a space where memory and the tragic beauty of the body intertwine.

Como una casa is a medium-length film that recounts Ainara's entire journey in Spain and the violence she suffered in Madrid's Centro de Internamiento de Extranjeros.

Antonis Vais, in collaboration with 12 performers of the ASFA Laboratory 12 (Professor Poka Yio), reclaim the pier of Gate E8 at the port of Piraeus. In this land’s edge, whose only border is the sea, they wish to reposition corporeality at the core of site-specific research. Seeking ways, situations, and conditions in which the individual, as part of a larger whole and as a unit, relates to the arrival, departure from, and stay in intermediate places of temporary habitation – such as the port – they activate a perpetual movement: that of the multitude, whose function aims to overemphasize the importance of transience.
