Inner Landscapes:

Collective Writing

through the Elements

@Fydani.space

Chiou 27, Athina 104 38

Guest ARTIST

Lito Skopeliti

Join us for a series of five writing workshops guided by guest artist Lito Skopeliti. Each session will explore a space for collective auto-narratives. Together we will explore our eco-selves through writing.

What do we mean by inner landscapes—and why explore them collectively? Our inner worlds are never isolated. They take shape in relation to the material conditions around us: the soil beneath our feet, the water that sustains our movement, the fire that fuels our commitments, the air that carries our thoughts, and the subtle fields that connect us to one another. Each of us nurtures an inner ecosystem—complex, and deeply entwined with the world we inhabit. The elements offer tools to notice what grounds us, moves us, drives us, circulates between us, and connects us.

Writing becomes a way to trace these relations, allowing experiences that often remain unspoken to take form, be shared and understood. Holding this process collectively is essential. Togetherness helps each of us see our inner landscapes as sites of relation and possibility. The series unfolds across five sessions, each focused on one element. You are welcome to join the full series or drop in to the sessions that call to you.  

Wednesdays 6:30-8:30

No previous writing experience is needed.

The workshop is bilingual-friendly and participants can write in the language they feel most comfortable with. In the past, this diversity enriched our experience.  

Participation is free. The workshop runs with donations (suggested contribution: 5 euros per session).

Lito Skopeliti is an independent researcher focusing on climate crisis, ecological relations, and economic diversity. She experiments with collective auto-narratives and other art forms as ways to understand how personal experience meets social and ecological realities.

PicNic Manifesto

ongoing activity

in Athens Public Spaces

During the last years, we are experiencing an increasing threat of privatization over Athenian public spaces. Presented as “renovations”, “embellishments”, “hygienization”, “defense of order”, or plainly as plans for tourism attractions. These diverse interventions on parks and hills reduce their green areas and aim to limit their usage, accommodating it to profiting schemes and to a view of the city that disregards its inhabitants’ vital needs.

Amidst this contested scenario, picnics emerge as a convoking and resisting quotidian activity that refreshes the air and renovates our possibilities to experience public space as a joyful common. We invite you to help us write a Picnic Manifesto! How do picnics materialize our views of the type of city where we want to live? How do they express our views on coexistence, welcomeness and sharing?

The first Picnic Manifesto was at Akadimia Platonos Park, adding to the many actions being done to support the park’s existence as it is, against the cutting of 314 trees and the invasion of bulldozers and cement. The second was in Strefi Hill Exarchia, November, 2023.

This will be an ongoing Mouries’ activity at various parks in the city. Bring friends and whatever you’d like to share (fruits? ideas? cookies? questions?) We look forward to see you there!
