At 4pm CET, on Wednesday 21 February, 2024 we are organising Media (Art) and Politics an online, open to all, webinar which will consist of talks by Gregory Sholette, Rachel O’Dwyer, and !Mediengruppe Bitnik, and will span subjects that will discuss the social obligation of the artists, the blockchain based so called opportunities for artists, and how artistic practice can expand from the digital into the physical space.
Rosemary Lee
We are happy to announce that Dr Rosemary Lee was selected as NeMe’s EMAP resident artist. Rosemary will be arriving in Cyprus in the beginning of March to commence the research and production of her work.
European Media Art Platform
On March 19-23, we will be hosting the EMAP network meeting. Although this meeting will only be open to the EMAP members and the selected 2024 resident artists, we are co-organising an additional event, open to all, with curator Davorka Begović from Kontejner. This closing event for the Cyprus cultural community will include presentations and performances during the evening of Friday, 22nd March. Book the date as we will be posting more information about the event, next month.
Toolkit of Care
In April NeMe will be hosting a training school under the Toolkit of Care project. We are planning to publish an open call for speakers soon.
