The first film-manifesto on the powerful artistic voice of women today continues and expands!!!!
WOMANIFESTO Ι&II, becomes reality!!!! The visual artist/film director Efi Spyrou and RUNONART NGO team, invites 30 female creatives from Greece, Cyprus, and Israel to write and present their own manifesto, giving for a minute to the camera, their own statement to the challenges of our times.
The WOMANIFESTO project started its maiden film production at the Greenhouse of Ornamental Plants of the Agricultural University of Athens, initially with 15 female creatives, as WOMANIFESTO I, in October 2021.
The filming of WOMANIFESTO II took place mid-October 2022, with 15 more female artists,
with the financial support and auspices of the Ministry of Culture and Sports-Greece, A.G. Leventis Foundation & A.G. Leventis Gallery, Ministry of Justice and Public Order – National Mechanism for Women’s Rights Cyprus and Assaf Burstein.
WOMANIFESTO I features the Greece based artists Agata Darlasi, Barbara Roussou, Elena Topalidou, Eftychia Panagiotou, Maro Michalakakos, Maro Fasouli, Myrto Xanthopoulou, Nefeli Sarri, Polina Kremasta, Pavlina Parvin, Rania Bellou, Tonia Tzirita Zacharatou, Maria Yiayiannou, Chrisa Valsamaki and Efi Spyrou
WOMANIFESTO II features the Israeli performer Tamar Raban, Cypriot artists Enacttheatre [Elena Kallinikou & Marina Makri], Lia Haraki, Naya T. Karacosta, and the Greece based artists Artemis Panagiotidou, Eleftheria Kazana, Eri Dimitriadi, Eleni Panouklia, Ioanna Paraskevopoulou, Maria Papapostolou, Maria Papafigou, Maria Siorba, Natasa Biza and Stavroula Siamou.
WOMANIFESTO I&II will be screened in a single presentation at the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation on 21 December 2022 in Athens, and at the Leventis Gallery, Nicosia, in spring 2023.
The long-term goal is for the project to work as an invitation, a challenge to be able to expand by adding artistic manifestos from around the world, so that the dialogue can cross borders and become the first mosaic film-manifesto of today’s women artistic voices!!!
