Guest expert tour by Katerina Gregos

We are pleased to invite you to an expert tour at the exhibition The Lives of Animals, led by curator Katerina Gregos. The tour will begin with the video work Waiting for the Time to Pass (2021) by Greek filmmaker Janis Rafa, featuring a dog as its protagonist. This work comments on ecological disasters and the various forms of violence humans inflict on domesticated animals. Katerina Gregos will also discuss a new series of exhibitions at EMST titled Why Look at Animals?.

Katerina Gregos is a curator, lecturer, and writer based in Athens and Brussels. Since 2021, she has served as the artistic director of the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST) in Athens. Her curatorial practice consistently explores the relationship between art, society, and politics, with a particular focus on democracy, human rights, economy, ecology, crisis, and global production circuits.

This tour is part of a series of guided tours at M HKA conducted by guest experts. Our program invites artists, philosophers, and other researchers to engage in open conversations. It’s free to attend if you have a valid entry ticket to the museum.
