Athens Street Art Festival participated in this year´s Platforms Project 2019 held May 16 to Sunday, May 19, at the “Nikos Kessanlis” Exhibition Hall of the Athens School of Fine Arts, the largest event so far in its seventh year. Platforms Project is directed by Artemis Potamianou and Michalis Argyrou. This was the second year that Platforms Project was held at the ASFA.

Platforms Project brings together independent art platforms from around the world in an attempt to map artworks and current practices, as well as theoretical questions posed internationally. The Platforms Project is an international exhibition of independent artists that work together and aims to create channels of communication and collaboration, to exchange projects and to promote artists internationally.

60 art platforms from 17 countries flocked to Athens for four days and welcomed more than 16,000 visitors. At this year’s event, ATHENS STREET ART FESTIVAL participated in the Platforms Project parallel program which expanded into talks with participating historians, theorists and art critics, academics, museum directors, artists and curators.
