Five Seasons

Melting theory and practice with Napoleon Xifaras.

Chinese culture is permeated by the notion of the five elements, found both in nature and human life. Their energy waxes and wanes in daily and seasonal cycles. The 5 seasons are constantly transformed and each form is complementary to the others. Through the 5 phase practice, we will attempt to connect with the sensitive subtle messages that come from our bodies and our present, embrace these successive transformations and tune in with ourselves and with the world.

Wet Felting Craft

Wet felting workshop with wool with Julie Loi.

The hill where the Duncan family built their house is described by Isadora as an empty, rocky terrain without water, located far from Athens and frequented only by shepherds and their flocks. During this workshop, we will utilize wool in order to explore the ancient technique of wet felting, a time-consuming craft that allows space for listening to each other but also to oneself. 

The Main Characters

Silkscreen printing with rosanayaris and nyamnyam.

With a white t-shirt of your choice or a beloved piece of pale fabric and take with you one of the main characters featured in the film OMEN, inspired by the journey of the Duncan Family. 

Alliances of people 

Conversation with Andreas Sell from the Hermitage Sykaminea Residency.

“After leaving my permanent job, I got involved in art groups and developed the Hermitage Sykaminea Residency on Lesvos. It was not only a desire for exchange with other people but also a desire to grow beyond my well-rehearsed working methods.” Andreas Sell will talk about his personal experience of moving and shaping a common ground at Sykaminea, Lesvos.

Another Raymond

Gathering stories from then and now with Samantha and Hermes Savvantoglou.

“My father was traveling in Greece searching for a place to start a family. They found the place they loved, here, among the mountains. It was a rocky field, entirely empty, it only had one tree and a house. At the beginning there was nothing outside…”. Samantha and Hermes will talk about another Raymond, their father, and about the Children’s Orchard, an experiential school in northern Greece that connects art, life and education.
