Meeting Points: Studios Edition
What happens when the studio opens, the creative process is shared, and art becomes a reason to meet?
Off Stream’s Meeting Points project returns in 2026 with a new edition and moves to the place where art is created, inside artists’ studios. A space of creative expression and experimentation.
From March to April 2026, five artists in Thessaloniki and Athens open their studios to become “meeting points” of inclusion and co-creation. Dimitris Ameladiotis, Giorgos Gerontides, Loxandra LLoxy Lucas, Marina Velisioti and Argiris Rallias welcome us into their studios to get to know them and their work up close.
Through a multisensory and participatory process, audiences with and without sensory impairments will engage with each artist’s practice, interact with the works and collaboratively craft their creative descriptions.
Each 75 minute event is equally addressed to adult participants with and without sensory impairments, including people with partial or total vision loss, Deaf and hard of hearing participants. Simultaneous interpretation in Greek Sign Language and tactile aids will be provided throughout each session to ensure equal participation for all. All 5 events will be conducted in Greek.
