ATOPOS cvc inaugurates the exhibition Living Archive of Transition by anthr0morph on Sunday, March 1, from 18:00 to 22:00, at its new exhibition space in Piraeus (41A Polydefkous St.), curated by Artistic Director Vassilis Zidianakis. At 19:00, anthr0morph will present the performance Post-Ecdysis (duration: 20’). The exhibition runs through April 30, 2026 and is accessible by reservation during public program events.

Living Archive of Transition engages with anthr0morph’s living archive of gender transition, exploring methodologies of care and artistic practices that foreground states of transition and human/non-human relations. It proposes an expanded understanding of transition–thinking through, across, and beyond gender–touching upon ecology, interspecies relations, and coexistence within a toxic environment.

Two key concepts run through the exhibition: transition and the living archive. Transition is not approached as linear progress or simple change, but as an open and often contradictory process of transformation. The term “living archive” does not refer to a conventional historical archive to be revived or reinterpreted. The archive is literally alive: it is anthr0morph’s own body–a body functioning as a political tool, a carrier of memory, experience, trauma, and metamorphosis.

The exhibition forms part of a broader effort toward experiential and reparative curating, engaging with contemporary approaches to the “archival turn.” It includes sculptural masks and exoskeletons referencing animal-chimeras and other non-human life forms, molds of these sculptures, personal objects and medical treatments, photographs and videos from performances, and a cyanotype created in collaboration with visual artist Claudia Hausfeld.

The new performance Post-Ecdysis is also presented, while anthr0morph maintains an on-site studio within the exhibition space, where new works are continuously produced. The exhibition will additionally become part of the ongoing documentary Holy Human Angel, directed by Angeliki Aristomenopoulou from Anemon Productions.

The exhibition unfolds within the thematic framework Living Archive, centered on ecotransfeminist ecologies, developed in dialogue with Public Program Curator Eleni Riga. On March 6, 2026, Clovis Maillet–artist, historian, and co-author (with Emma Bigé) of the book Écotransfeminismes—will offer an introduction to the theme. The next exhibition, scheduled for December 2026, will focus on French writer Françoise d’Eaubonne, who first introduced the term ecofeminism.

In collaboration with the National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens (EMST), a screening will take place on April 26 featuring excerpts from Save the Dates, an audiovisual archive of contemporary art. The material will focus on Greek and international artists who approach the body as a political tool. A discussion will follow with visual artist Katerina Zacharopoulou and EMST Collections Advisor Eleni Koukou.

Finally, a collaboration is announced with AMOQA (Athens Museum of Queer Arts), a collective hybrid initiative networking researchers, activists, and artists engaged with the politics of the body, memory, and gender. On April 19, a happening based on the idea of the “edible archive” will take place–an action born from the desire to merge fully, to incorporate our loved ones and keep them forever close.

Ecotransfeminisms by Clovis Maillet

Keynote Lecture
06.03.2026 | 19:00–20:00
Language: English
Free admission | Registration required

Clovis Maillet introduces ecotransfeminist ecologies, addressing the entanglement of humans, animals, plants, minerals, and other non-human forms of life, while questioning the politics of separation underpinning fascist and anti-trans ideologies. Rather than proposing fixed identities or stable categories, Maillet approaches ecotransfeminism as a set of transformative tools-practices for inhabiting a world of constant fluidity and change.

Archive disorder, a desire to merge completely

Happening
19.04.2026 | 18:00
Free admission | Registration required

This happening, developed by members of AMOQA, is based on the concept of the “edible archive.” It approaches archival materiality through a table of offerings where images and texts are transformed into edible forms. Visitors are invited into an embodied experience where reading, viewing, and tasting coexist-activating a different relationship to archival memory.
