The Festival Academy (initiative of the European Festivals Association – EFA) (BE)
Mystery 45 Atelier Elefsina 2023 will offer up to 35 emerging festival managers from all over the world the chance to spend seven days with a group of young and experienced festival leaders, cultural activists, cross-sector experts, and artists in Elefsina, where they will engage in a global conversation about the challenges of today, and the role that festivals, art, and culture can play. The Atelier is about gaining new perspectives, exploring the very essence of festivals – their why and how – in a global context, sharing and exchanging experiences, and reflecting on topics of concern for the participants.
The Atelier Elefsina 2023 dives into what forms the quintessential core of festivals – the arts, artists, and audiences – and tackles all these issues during training. Participants are guided by renowned festival managers who share their rich experiences and are there to answer questions along the way, acting not only as lecturers but also as true mentors, giving participants frank and open insights into their careers – that is, into both their successes and their failures.
This programme falls within the framework of a longstanding partnership between 2023 Eleusis and the Festival Academy that has already resulted in the organisation of two regional programmes: the Atelier for Greek Festival Managers (2019) and the Atelier for Art & Production Managers (2021-2022).
From 29 March to 8 April, 2023 Eleusis European Capital of Culture presents in the foyer of Cine Eleusis Cultural Centre Mystery 178 Collecting flowers with her girlfriends, an exhibition dedicated to the flora of the Archaeological Site of Elefsina, created by the artist Violeta Diamanti-Meletiou and the teacher Irini Yovanou.
From April 13th to April 16th, 2023 Eleusis European Capital of Culture presents an exhibition with artistic creations by Nicoletta Granitsa (aka Magemeli, a name that is inspired by the “alchemical” society of bees), under the title: Mystery 197 Paper World – A Letter to Eleusis, at the Canteen – Art Hub.
From 17 April to 19 May, 2023 Eleusis European Capital of Culture presents Mystery 199 Vangelis Tsakos – Thanos Tsingos, an exhibition – tribute to two great artists of Elefsina, the award-winning photographer Vangelis Tsakos and the internationally acclaimed artist Thanos Tsingos at the Old Town Hall of Elefsina. Photographic and painting works, testimonies, publications, exceptional editions and valuable materials, products of extensive research, describe their history and highlight just a small part of the particularly rich but also unique work of the two artists.
