Children currently residing in Eleusis, despite their diverse backgrounds, have expressed their desires for the city of the future and their prophecies.
One of the most well-known Greek prophets is the blind seer Tiresias. In psychology, the term “Tiresias syndrome” is frequently used, referring to behavior where, upon receiving a personal prophecy, a person convinces themselves of a specific future outcome and tends to interpret and act, often unconsciously, in that direction. While a negative prophecy can be severely limiting, we want to believe that a positive one could guide us towards the necessary actions for its realization.
This is why we aspire to envision the city of our desires, so that our longing becomes our guiding North Star, leading us in our daily endeavors.
During the opening, some of the children who have participated in this experience will lead us to a place where the past, present, and future converge in a special sanctuary.
The entire community is invited to meet, be guided by, and play with the Time Guardians.
The artistic installation “Voices of Elefsina” by Berlin artist Karl Heinz Jeron, is presented in the context of the project Mystery 37 VOICES OF ELEFSINA of 2023 Eleusis, in collaboration with the team of the Zoetrope Athens art space. A live experience, in the form of a sound walk, which will be inaugurated in Elefsina on 28 April.
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.
