The River Beneath the RiverKonstantinos Kotsis
In Konstantinos Kotsis‘ workshop, 'A Manual On How To Construct Strange Creatures', children come together to explore how we- all creatures- connect to Mother Nature united by our differences, through colour, gesture painting, role playing and dialogue.
Drawing from the concept of hybrids in mythology, folk tales and nature, the workshop emphasises the co-existence and interdependence of all living organisms, both human and non-human, in harmony and justice. A non-anthropocentric approach is proposed through a counter-hegemonic narrative, in order to dismantle the established man-nature divide. The workshop aims to raise awareness on critical environmental issues and justice among all living organisms, as well as promoting empathy for diversity and inclusion.
