“Nostospassword” Art Banquet
Venue : Fransiz Sokagi Culture Center
Dates : October 26th – 31th / Everyday, from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
“Nostos” is an ancient Greek word for homecoming. The journey back to where we belong, or back to our rutes, or our memories or even to a bitter reflection of our life, or even to what we are now, the modern days, the days that we need “passwords” to move on.Nostospassword adapts the term to mean the homecoming as a return to wholeness of consciousness itself. This six-days event, took place at the Fransiz Sokagi Culture Center, and was fully dedicated to this journey. Paintings, Photography, Sculpture, Ceramics, Modern Dance, Fashion Design and Video Art Dimitris Vogdanis-Danis has expressed his feelings and thoughts about this event with the following sentences:
“This exhibition won't have a usual opening party. In the NostosPassword Art Banquet, art-lovers will be able to experience a new mystic feeling every day. “Nostalgia” as we say in Greek, is when we let our mind go back and awake all the memories of our past, so I invite you all to come and see these works of the artists that follow their own “nostos”, their own instinct, their own journey. My expectation from this event is to create an art event that emphasizes the ideas. “
So we, Dimitris Vogdanis-Danis (curator) and Sanat Tanitim are inviting you to join us in this mystic way of art presentation and to honor us and all of the participants who are involved in this Project with your presence.
During this art week also special happenings took place:
First of these special happenings was the Contemporary Dance “Nostos Suitcase” by Eder Cardoso. The Second one, was on the 28th of October, was the “Card Castle” Theater One Act by Maria Kougianou (The text will be handet in Turkish). And the last one, Contemporary Dance Performance by Can Kandera “Lost Memories”
