On this first anniversary of the Beirut explosions we share images taken by the artist Majd Abdel Hamid of the city today. As with many Lebanese citizens, we do not remember the events of a year ago, because we did not forget them. #August4 #BeirutBlast #TalkaboutLebanon #Beirut
To mark #WorldRefugeeDay we asked Bosnian artist @Lana_Cmajcanin to select some of her work that reflects on refugees. 🚢You can also watch the video work 'A Change is Gonna Come II' through the link in our bio, pw ACIGC ruyamaps.org/journal-featur…
To mark #WomensHistoryMonth 2021 RUYA MAPS has been sharing some of our favourite women artists from around the world, such as Zarina Bhimji, Teresa Margolles, and Pinaree Sanpitak🌏 ruyamaps.org/journal-featur…
🧎♂️In the #microcommission 'Cheimadia,' Alkmini Gkousiari proposes a piece of work that can be worn just as the artist carries Athens with her from afar. The sculpture and performance were inspired by an ancient Greek perfume bottle in the form of a kneeling athlete.
📬‘Carte Postale' by Melina Fakitsa Mosland is a collage that explores Athens' contradictory architecture against an ironically romanticised colour palette. This is a #microcommission for the Spirit issue of the Creative Cities journal.
👁️'Moirai' familiarizes the viewer with the ancient Greek myth of the Moirai (‘the Fates’) who control the thread of life, and contrast with tyche (‘chance’). This embroidered eye is a #microcommission by Iliodora Margellos in response to our 'Spirit' theme which explores Athens
RUYA MAPS is pleased to share the finalists in our open call: Alkmini Gkousiari, Iliodora Margellos and Melina Fakitsa Mosland. Congratulations to the artists! They have each been awarded micro-commissions to create new work in response to their relationship with #Athens.
Whether an established artist or fresh out of art school, an Athens native or a recent resident, each of the artists included here has a relationship with the city that connects with the unique spirit of Athens. See the runners up to our #opencall here: ruyamaps.org/spirit/2020/11…
For our #Athens issue, RUYA MAPS Selects introduces work by some of the most interesting contemporary Greek artists. Drawing on our theme ‘Spirit,’ the series shown here take mysticism, historic residences, mourning rituals, and myth as their subjects. ruyamaps.org/spirit/2020/11…
🚨PAID Micro-Commissions🚨 Are you an artist based in, or from, Athens? Submit your portfolio and a statement on your relationship with the city for a chance to be awarded a micro-commission. #greekart #athens #contemporaryart ruyamaps.org/newsfeatures/a…
#ArtRelief4Beirut is selling art on Instagram with funds going to trusted #Lebanonrelief efforts. This recently sold work, Ahmad Beydoun’s Wheat Dissolution, uses machine learning to compile images of the grain siloes that were the only structures left standing in Beirut’s port.
For the Love of Beirut gathers works by over 60 photographers in support of the city after the explosions on August 4th. Sales end this evening, and include works by Myriam Boulos, Omar Sfeir, and Rena Effendi amongst others. #talkaboutlebanon #lebanonblasts #beirutfundraiser
