Missions and objectives

Social Cooperative Enterprise “Cinesthesia” since 2014 runs Eye’s Walk Digital 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 work (projections, installations, performative) to interface the public space with the local community. We experiment with art in public space aiming at awakening and mobilizing individual and collective consciousness in relation to social responsibility and to social change.

Storytelling and narratives are key to the work as is the Greek word «Eros».

“I perceive my curatorial work as an act of “Eros”, that infuses the city with different emotional and physical states, transfiguring it, into a transformative – creative experience with a potentially tremendous impact on neighbourhoods’ life, street stories, closed windows’ agony”.

Filia Milidaki – Curator & Founder.
