Performance Biennal Athens 2016

The first edition of the Performance Biennial took place June 23rd - July 4th in Greece. Emerging from DIY self-organised cultural practices appearing during these past years in Athens, in a present without a future, this event seeks to critically interrogate the role of performance, historically and in the present, in relation to political and social materialities and imaginaries.

Under the title “No Future” this guerrilla biennial brought together forms of artistic, political and theoretical practice and discourse questioning the potential of a collective refusal to a referred futurity.
