Partnership:
Motus Terrae (https://motusterrae.gr)was founded in 2008 and functions as a civil non-profit organization. Its main field of action is public space (site specific creations, urban interventions, street performances and more). Our activities focus on the use of artistic tools as a medium of meeting our co-citizens and engage them in the creative process through collaborative projects and workshops. Motus Terrae has been actively present in the community of Elefsina since 2009 and is proposing various projects, with the Municipality’s support. For 2015-16, Motus Terrae is a partner and artistic co-ordinator in Mixdoor, an international, collaborative project funded by the Creative Europe program.
Dcalk (https://www.dcalk.org)was founded in 2011 to underline critical content and collaborative practices in game design, and explore new ways of crafting and distributing games in the digital era. The association develops yearly meetings on fringe topics related to game design/culture, cultural mediation & workshops, in situ creations & a publishing activity experimenting with print format. In 2015, Dcalk got granted by the European Cultural Foundation to prototype a Digital Game Library that interrogates the future of Public Libraries as well as social aspects of the Digital Public Space.
