2026 ARCAthens NOLA/NYC Research Fellows Meet-and-Greet

* Hear from two visiting Greek artists about their work and their experiences in the Greater New Orleans area.

* Take part in an informal conversation about research, contemporary art, and how art can deepen your understanding of everyday life.

Meet 2026 ARCAthens NOLA/NYC Research Fellows Vicky Tsirou and Dionisis Christofilogiannis, two Greece-based arts practitioners whose work engages contemporary questions of space, memory, public life, and social meaning. Tsirou is an independent curator, writer, and researcher whose work centers on the commons, public space, participatory art, and environmental concerns. Christofilogiannis is a visual artist whose multidisciplinary practice examines mythology, memory, tradition, identity, and sociopolitical commentary through painting, installation, and performative action.

Presented in the context of the ARCAthens fellowship, which supports international dialogue and exchange between Greece and the United States, the event offers an opportunity to hear how their research in New Orleans and New York informs broader conversations about art, public discourse, and everyday life.

Complimentary light refreshments will be available.
