Paxos Biennale 2024

The 2024 edition, titled MANIFESTO OF MEMORY focuses on the cultural heritage of Paxos, the olive tree.

The olive tree is a symbol of fortitude, resilience, and spiritual development. However, the recent surge of Xylella, a pathogenic bacterium, has led to widespread devastation, highlighting the vulnerability of the ecosystem and the risk of pathogen dissemination.

With MANIFESTO OF MEMORY Paxos Biennale aims to illuminate the importance of safeguarding collective memory and cultural heritage, reminding that no element of our cultural patrimony is immune to the ravages of time and circumstance.

Seeking opportunities for dialogue across historical, ecological and socio-political distances, MANIFESTO OF MEMORY will facilitate innovative, multidirectional possibilities fo creative cooperation. These collaborative processes, will yield new artistic commissions and productions within a decentralized program that will materialize across numerous sites on the island.

The artworks will be adapted to the unique architectural and geographical contexts in which they will be shown in 4 major categories. These categories include large-scale immersive installations, outdoor video projections and outdoor & indoor exhibitions in old and traditional places in different locations of the island.

Paxos Biennale Residency Programm 2024

Every two years, Paxos Biennale invites visual artists to live and work on the island of Paxos for two weeks. During the residency program, the artists get to know the island and the local community, draw inspiration from its unique environment, step out of the comfort zones of their studios, and connect with nature. At the end of the residency, they create Biennale’s art installations. This edition, we had the pleasure of hosting Carolina Amaya, Dionisis Christofilogiannis, Dimitra Zervou, Dimitris Kontodimos, and The Krank.

The residency aims to foster a deep connection between the artists and the island of Paxos, encouraging them to create works that reflect and interact with the local landscape and culture. It provides a unique opportunity for artists to experience a different environment, which can lead to innovative and inspired creations.
