● Artist: With a background in architecture and the visual arts, Nefeli Papadimouli works across media, from participatory actions in public space to sculpture, photography, drawing, costume design, moving image, installation, and performance. Inspired by phenomenology, feminism, and contemporary political theory, her proto-architectural approach explores spatial configurations of distance as essential elements in processes of social conflict, negotiation, and equilibrium. ● Description: Partial Stars, Transposed Cartographies is a workshop inspired by the ongoing artistic research Relational Cartographies and based on the project Etoiles Partielles. Etoiles Partielles is a site-sensitive project created by the artist in 2023 on the occasion of her solo exhibition in Le Credac as an honour to the utopian architecture and revolutionary urban design that compose the city-centre of Ivry-surSeine, a district in the Parisian suburbs, France. With the desire to open a poetic dialogue with the landmark spaces and forms created by architects Renée Gailhoustet and Jean Renaudie, the artist reinterpreted the influential avant-garde architectures. Inspired by the built environment, she created a large-scale textile work with wearable sculptures functioning as second skins. The sculptural works inspired by the architecture of the city centre were presented in the exhibition until the realisation of a public performance reintroducing the works in the context they originated from. The participant performers marched through the city centre, creating a sensitive cartography relating their bodies and the urban environment. *The workshop’s outcome will be presented to the public.
