We are pleased to continue the MSG Talks, an online platform where MARes postgraduate students share their ongoing research, artistic practices, and emerging inquiries with the broader academic and artistic community.
Join us on Thursday, June 11, 2026, for two presentations by MARes students whose work engages with social practice, environmental change, participatory methodologies, and artistic research.
MSG Talk with Kristina Bozhurska
Thursday, June 11, 2026 — 5:30 PM (Athens time)
Artist and educator Kristina Bozhurska will present insights from her MARes research and artistic practice. Working across painting, drawing, text, video, and participatory approaches, her work explores the intersections of art, pedagogy, and socio-political observation. Through carefully curated materials and visual references, she draws attention to the discarded, forgotten, and overlooked, inviting reflection on dominant narratives and possibilities for transformation.
Academic Advisor: Maria Chalkou
MSG Talk with Zoe Lomax
Thursday, June 11, 2026 — 6:00 PM (Athens time)
Visual artist and environmental researcher Zoe Lomax will share her ongoing MARes project developed in collaboration with local communities in Corfu. Through participatory photography and co-creative exhibition-making, her research explores how environmental change shapes memory, emotion, and collective experience. Drawing from environmental studies, artistic practice, and community engagement, her work investigates how people perceive, remember, and respond to changing landscapes.
