  • CINESTHESIA & EYE’S WALK DIGITAL FESTIVAL (GREECE)

Since 2014, the Social Cooperative Enterprise “Cinesthesia” runs Eye’s WalkDigital Festival on the island of Syros, in Greece and internationally (Italy, Iran). The festival connects to the unique architectural legacy of a city by creating a layer of digital works (projections, installations, performances) that enable to strengthen the link between the public space and the local community. We experiment with art in public space in order to awake and mobilize individual and collective consciousness in relation to social responsibility and social change. Storytelling and narratives are key to the work as is the Greek word "Eros".
