WORM-LIKE
An evening of spaghetti, performance, worms, and a presentation of Frieda Ford’s research over her time with @lalaspiti Join at Pedion tou Areos at 20:30for a performance leading to Lala. Frieda has been researching artist-run spaces in Athens: gathering stories, running non-hierarchical workshops, exploring strategies of resistance, collaboration, sustenance. She considers the worm as the signifier of the artist-run space. Consuming chaotic matter and shitting out fertile soil. Writhing, wriggling, crawling over and under one another, creating connection to connection to connection.
