What?

Space for International Cooperation, is an independent, non-for profit, project-space in the heart of Athens. It is privately run by a group of international friends that each bring in their professional background and networks to host, support and facilitate co-operations among local and international partners. Artistic residencies, exhibitions, symposia, workshops or longer-term projects explore new ideas and new forms of knowledge and policies across the usual divide of cultures, disciplines and sectors.

 

Ο Χώρος Διεθνούς Συνεργασίας, είναι ένας ανεξάρτητος, μη κερδοσκοπικός, χώρος έργων στην καρδιά της Αθήνας. Διαχειρίζεται ιδιωτικά από μια ομάδα διεθνών φίλων που ο καθένας φέρνει το επαγγελματικό του υπόβαθρο και τα δίκτυά του για να φιλοξενήσει, να υποστηρίξει και να διευκολύνει τις συνεργασίες μεταξύ τοπικών και διεθνών εταίρων. Οι καλλιτεχνικές διαμονές, οι εκθέσεις, τα συμπόσια, τα εργαστήρια ή τα πιο μακροπρόθεσμα έργα διερευνούν νέες ιδέες και νέες μορφές γνώσης και πολιτικών πέρα από το συνηθισμένο χάσμα πολιτισμών, κλάδων και τομέων.

​​​​

Vision
The vision emphasizes embracing otherness and diversity as catalysts for positive change, advocating for collaboration across all kinds of demarcating lines, including geographical, political, cultural, and disciplinary.

Mission
SIC's mission is to explore international collaboration creatively and humanely, emphasizing the quality of process over specific outcomes. It aims to facilitate accessible experiences with collaboration, research, and reflection, encouraging encounters based on ethics and equality.

Who?

[SiC] is an initiative of Frans Damman, Michael Defuster and Lars Ebert, led by Michael Defuster, programme by Giorgos Papadopoulos.

​​

"Our times, especially in Athens, are characterized by a great deal of movement and change. As SiC, we not only embrace, but purposefully use the concept of developing on the go. We adopt an iterative way of working, as software developers do: version 0.1, version 0.2 and so on, each version an improvement and adaptation to the changing needs. This means we will gradually adapt our vision and themes to the needs of the times, those of the city and the global context."
