In “Violent Silk: Mourning Veils as Objects of Memory”, the artist duo Kalos&Klio showcases a series of twelve artworks printed on silk fabric and presented as mourning veils form a symbolical “worn world”. The title Violent Silk refers to the controversial manufacturing production of silk, a traditional process that exports silk of the higher quality by boiling and killing the silkworm. A comment on this violent method and its connotations, the exhibition serves as a reference to cultural memory and identity and includes texts and images which describe twelve different examples of violence on a global scale.
The 2014 Action Field Kodra entitled “I NEED A HERO-Valuable Matters in Valuable Times” (Main Curators: Dimitris Mihalaros, Anthi Argyriou, Panagis Koutsokostas) is a contemporary art festival organized in the context of Para Thin’ Alos of Municipality of Kalamaria.
