About the exhibition

Connecting the World: In an age of digital noise, My World, My View brings us back to what is local and real, creating a heartwarming bridge across the globe. We invite you to step into this vibrant exhibition and explore how our personal landscapes connect us, no matter the distance.

Witness a stunning collection of moments captured by artists and community members from various corners of the map. From a single window or a quiet street to the energy of an entire city, these works offer an intimate look at everyday life, forming a breathtaking collective portrait of our shared humanity.

Curator: JCB

About the work 

The picture shows the view from my study window onto the street corner early in the morning. A pink bicycle lies half in the street, half on the sidewalk. But where is the cyclist? Does the journey end here, where did it begin? Did he carelessly abandon the bicycle or did he quickly jump off to get something? Or is it a takeaway bike that someone is now missing somewhere? I want to leave this melancholic neighborhood and travel to the district of happiness. But it seems as if the journey ends here and goes nowhere else.

About the festival

Fringe Arts Bath Festival is Bath's annual festival of contemporary visual arts, with free exhibitions, events and interventions for 17 days across the city of Bath.

MANGA Der Geist in allem - The Ghost in everything

My video work “The Plant” is screened in the exhibition MANGA - Der Geist in allem - The Spirit in Everything.

“MANGA – der Geist in allem

02/05/2026 – 20.06.2026

Project Space Galerie M

Marzahner Promenade 46, 12679 Berlin, Germany

Opening: 02/05/2026, 18:00 h

Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri – 12:00-18:00 h – Sat, Sun - 12:00 – 19:00 h 

(Mon. and Holidays closed)

The exhibition “MANGA – The Spirit in Everything” at Galerie M (May 2 – June 20, 2026) is dedicated to the idea of an animated or ensouled world—a world in which all things, whether living or non-living, are imbued with a spirit. This concept is deeply rooted in East Asian systems of belief and thought, such as Shinto, as well as in shamanistic traditions, and continues to resonate in visual cultures today

The exhibition brings together artistic positions from a range of contemporary art practices, including drawing, painting, digital media, installation, and sculpture. The works on view engage with animated objects, spirits and apparitions, as well as allegorical visual languages and the translation of traditional narratives into new media contexts. Together, they form a multifaceted panorama that compellingly explores the question of “spirit” in contemporary image production

OPEN - (R)EMERGING ART(ISTS)

Two of my photographic works from the portfolios “Cocoon” and “I can not see” are being exhibited at

OPEN - (R)EMERGING ART(ISTS)

01/05/ - 03/05/2026

Vrij Paleis

Paleisstraat 107

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Vrij Paleis is a space run by artists and cultural entrepreneurs. Its aim is to maintain an affordable space for creativity and experimentation in the heart of Amsterdam indefinitely. This is achieved by providing space for exhibitions and socio-cultural activities, while the gallery remains autonomous and non-profit.

The two photographic works strongly relate to the themes and keywords "hidden in the obvious", "isolation", "mental health problems" and "identities".

“Home-s“ - Photopolis Agrinio Photo Festival

One of my black and white photographs from the portfolio "Traces" is presented here:

Home-s“ - Photopolis Festival

18/04 – 26/04/2026

Opening Saturday 18 April , 19:00 h / Open daily 19:00-21:00 h

Kapralos Museum (Kapralos Municipal Art Gallery),

Terma Papastratou & Kostas Varnali, Agrinio 30131, Greece.


The international group photography exhibition "HOME-S" brings together the work of photographers from 38 countries, who, through different cultural and experiential starting points, approach the concept of "home" as an open and multifaceted condition. Their images move between the familiar and the unfamiliar, the present and the absent and the belonging. The "home" here is not limited to a physical space. It appears as a landscape and as a trace, as a relationship and as an absence, as care but also as a rift. Through family environments, everyday gestures, communities, rituals, and transitional landscapes, artists map personal and collective experiences, where the concept of habitation is constantly renegotiated. In a world characterized by fragile balances, "HOME-S" functions as a meeting place: a place where the gaze becomes a carrier of memory and at the same time a tool for understanding the other.
The exhibition is a festival event of the Photopolis Agrinio Photo Festival and is under the auspices of the Municipality of Agrinio.

Curation of the exhibition: Eleni Mouzakiti, Panos Kaltsas

haus_a_rest // Issue 70 - The Fragmented Body //

A photography from my portfolio “A State Of Bared” is published in

haus_a_rest

// Issue 70 - The Fragmented Body //

The body has never been singular. It is divided by memory, shaped by technology, marked by labour, gendered by language, racialised by history, politicised by borders, and dispersed across digital and physical realities. It is whole and broken at once.

The Fragmented Body seeks to examine: The body as archive — scars, memories, inherited histories Dislocation, exile, and displacement Medical, mechanical, or digital intervention Prosthetics, avatars, extensions, and simulations Surveillance and the commodified body Psychological fragmentation and multiplicity The body in pieces: symbolic, literal, metaphorical We welcome interpretations that are poetic, political, intimate, speculative, or confrontational.Haus-a-rest is an independent zine dedicated to showcasing creative voices across the globe.

Editors Jenna Fox and Nicola Rodgers (Reading, UK)

About the work: Fragmented Cocoon

Psychological fragmentation and multiplicity A Changed Perception of the World and the Fragmentation of My Mind and Body Through personal struggles with chronic mental health conditions (including neurodivergence) and hearing problems (auditory processing disorder (APD)), I began to build, or rather create, a kind of cocoon. To protect and shield my body and mind, which had been fragmented by my impairments. But also to protect myself and my social environment. I often feel as if my mind and body are falling apart. I can't see, hear, speak, walk, or move. That should actually be the cocoon's second function: to hold my mind and body together. But lately, even the cocoon has often been disintegrating.

White Space Gallery,

76 East Crosscauseway, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK


The exhibition aims to explore Identity, share personal or collective narratives, cultural influences, and interpretations of identity in a multicultural world. Contribute works that spark conversations and encourage viewers to reflect on cultural differences, connections, and shared experiences to create cultural dialogue. Social Inequality & Representation, to highlight issues of race, gender, class, and equity, emphasizing the importance of diverse voices in the arts

About the Work

The "foreignness" of humans as individuals. Who we are, woman-man, Chinese-Caucasian and the "foreignness" can go further. To what extent is our "foreignness" created by social and cultural environments. Even in daily life and in encounters we remain strangers to one another. The borders do not run between south, north, west or east, nor between heaven and earth. The borders run only between you and me.

“Medium is the Message,” - NÉA TÉCHNI Award

Medium is the Message,” - NÉA TÉCHNI Award

02/03/- 05/03/2026

KC Grad

Braće Krsmanović 4, Savski Venac Belgrade, Serbia


In early March 2026, the NÉA TÉCHNI Award launched a new initiative with the video art festival “Medium is the Message,” held atKC Grad in Belgrade from March 3–5, with an opening event on March 2. The NÉA TÉCHNI Video Art Festival explored how contemporary video artists navigate today’s complex visual landscape and construct new forms of visual storytelling.The program was curated by Alexandra Orlova, an independent curator whose research focuses on video art, memory, and narrative transformation.

"Circadian Silence" invites to listen to the invisible rhythm that unfolds within every living being — a time that breathes inside our cells, beyond clocks, measures, and productivity. The work is composed from genetic sequence of the CLOCK gene, one of the master regulators of circadian rhythm — the molecular clock that governs the alternation of day and night, wakefulness and rest. Here, silence is inhabited by traces of the biological world: a heartbeat, a breath, a voice, frag- ments of the body’s own memory. The piece unfolds as a continuous respiration of sound and pause, code and body — a meditation on the invisible cycles that sustain life.

Summary of the special launch event ArtWorks Together




 Summary of the special launch event ArtWorks Together

On 12th February 2026 a special all-day event/launch event was held with most of the participating artists to introduce the festival and the exhibition.

The event included an exclusive preview of the exhibitions for the participating artists, the presentation of the shortlist, and finally, the announcement of the winners of the five awards. There were also Q&A sessions, guided tours, and several short speeches on the challenges faced by artists with disabilities or autism, and how they can gain visibility and participate in the art world. All participating artists have one or more disabilities, primarily a learning disability (e.g., Down syndrome, auditory processing disorder, APD, etc...) and/or autism.

The exhibition not only presents the artists' works but also provides background information on the works and the artists themselves. My video work, “You Get...uoY teG”, is featured in the exhibition. It was also shortlisted.

4th B&W Athens Photography

A b/w photographic work from my portfolio Alex & Anna (Alex Mars & Anna Grabowska) is presented at:

4th B&W Athens Photography

14/02/2026 – 16/02/2026

Serafio of the Municipality of Athens, (Echelidon 19 & Piraeus 144), Athens, Greece
Saturday: Opening 18:00 / Sunday: 12:00 – 22:00 / Monday: 12:00 – 19:00

From our co-operation with various artists through Blank Wall Gallery, we realized that B&W Photography, both Digital and Analogue, is becoming more and more appealing to artists. As a matter of fact, there are photographers who only shot in Black & White.

Wishing to support these artists in their effort, we proceed with the organization of B&W Athens Photography, in order to give many artists the opportunity to present their work in Athens.

ecoSYNTH² – Living Interfaces.

Fri. 30/01/2026 / 15:00 – 00.00

Sat. 31/01 – 01/02/2026

top e.V., Industriestr. 40, 12099 Berlin (Tempelhof), Germany

The three film and video programs will be shown on Friday, January 30, 2026. Our work will be presented and screened as part of Program II, “Ecologies of Attention,” from 17:30 to 21:00 h.

ecoSYNTH² focuses on living interfaces, multispecies alchemy, biohacking, and more-than-human ecological synthesis—where digital media meets living systems, and art becomes a tool for sensing, resistance, and transformation. We aim to incubate anti-capitalist futures, host critical conversations, and create space for practices operating between code, culture, and biology.

"Circadian Silence" invites to listen to the invisible rhythm that unfolds within every living being — a time that breathes inside our cells, beyond clocks, measures, and productivity. The work is composed from genetic sequence of the CLOCK gene, one of the master regulators of circadian rhythm — the molecular clock that governs the alternation of day and night, wakefulness and rest. Here, silence is inhabited by traces of the biological world: a heartbeat, a breath, a voice, frag- ments of the body’s own memory.

the plant”

In the work presented, a person acts on a fixed stage with a table, chair, flower pot, and glass of water. Following a strict choreography, the person reflects the concept of dignity in relation to time, stillness, the power of solitude and living in carefully executed movements. It points to the facts that every living being and every object has a dignity and its time . Also has the work a philosophical approach in the context of time and dignity. Partly influenced by Buddhist, Zen and Japanese MA thoughts, but at the same time contains autobiographical elements. It reflects the subject of time in a philosophical context
