10 years of Avtonomi Akadimia ^^ Autonomous Groves

This number sings, in hexameter. Yet this number is a punk.
It roars about the earnest real of Autonomy. It purrs of Akadimia, exchanging teachings in a grove. It drums the joy of art; previously forbidden, it has returned to the polis, transmogrifying it — a harmony of disorder.
This number is an intangible comrade who fights on our side to protect the miracle of breathing ruins – activated by the rainbow, together with the plants and with us; together we are environmental personhood.
This number croons, cogently, of stamina and of persistence; it enthralls us with our own being connected – in the daydream, lived and surging, of our freedom.

On May 5th, as an alternative to the Easter weekend, the Ecologies of Care group, founded by Elke Krasny and Uska Jurmann, https://ecologiesofcare.org, and the feminist witches of Athens have gathered in the Akadimia Platonos.

Meeting of climate activists, artists, philosophers and lawyers, organised in collaboration with the Permaculture School

Η Ζούγκλα της Ακαδημίας Πλάτωνος απευθύνει κάλεσμα προς μία ολοκληρωμένη προστασία των κοινών, της βιοποικιλότητας και της πολιτιστικής κληρονομιάς, για να αναζητήσει έμπνευση η σχετική Ευρωπαϊκή νομοθεσία στις ανιμιστικές κοσμολογίες, για να μετασχηματιστεί το εκπαιδευτικό σύστημα μέσω μορφών γνώσης των αυτοχθόνων, και για να ξεπεραστεί ο διαχωρισμός μεταξύ πολιτισμού και φύσης.
* Στα Ελληνικά, το φύλο της λέξης «κήπος» είναι αρσενικό, οπότε ο κήπος της Ακαδημίας Πλάτωνος, ενημερώνοντας τον εαυτό του, έχει γίνει τώρα ζούγκλα, που στα Ελληνικά, είναι θηλυκή.

Bank of No with Avtonomi Akadimia at the Athens Biennale, Bagkeion Hotel, Omonoia Square, April 2016.
(Photo: Ermina Apostolaki)
The starting point of the no-currency of the BANK OF NO is a collective “rebranding initiative” where art meets the banking crisis. At the core lies an international working group with roots in the 2011 political movements, including main organizers of Occupy Museums, Gulf Labor, Free Artists Hungary, and Living Memorial. By “rebranding“ the dead “Laiki“ bank, the working group which included its initiator Noah Fischer, as well as Raúl Hott, Nurtane Karagil, Csaba Nemes, Joulia Strauss and “twenty three”, opened a window onto the global financial situation from the specific political and economic conditions experienced on Cyprus.
