sensescapes
14 – 23 November 2025 | Pikap -iσο-
sensescapes is a group exhibition that is creatively accessible and collaboratively curated, aiming to redefine the relationship between audiences, artworks and exhibition practices.
It forms a natural continuation of Off Stream’s Making Sense project (2024), inviting audiences with and without disabilities to explore diverse and heterogeneous sensory landscapes, activating different senses each time. The exhibition was presented from November 14 to 23 at To Pikap -iσο- and was visited by a total of 760 people.
Focusing on both the literal and metaphorical meanings of wandering, sensescapes connects sensory experience with discovery, encounter and embodied engagement with art.

Parallel Program
Guided tours
Within the framework of the sensescapes exhibition, two public guided tours were held on Saturdays, November 15 and 22. The tours were addressed equally to people with and without sensory disabilities and were designed with the aim of creating an accessible and shared experience of the exhibition for all participants. Visitors had the opportunity to learn about the process behind the creation of the artworks, the exhibition themes, the different media and sensory tools used, as well as the broader artistic and curatorial concept of the exhibition.
The tours were conducted by the exhibition’s curatorial team and included simultaneous interpretation into Greek Sign Language, strengthening inclusion and ensuring equal access to the content.
