A conversation with Marina Miliou-Theoharaki

In this series of recorded encounters we speak with the participants of Onassis AiR to shed light on their artistic practices and needs, as well as to reflect on ways of being and working together.  In this conversation, I have the great pleasure to talk with Marina Miliou-Theocharaki. Marina is a performer, writer and curator based in Athens. Together, we participated in the Critical Practices Program of Onassis AiR in Fall 2019. In her work, Marina explores the relation between voice and gender and the ever-changing roleplay between subject and object. During her residency, she looked into the politics of hosting through a performance that took the form of a lap dance and was finally presented in the exhibition 'It moves, and it shouts' at Haus N' Athen in December 2019. Today, we discuss about her experience at Onassis AiR, her interest into voice and its historicity and we have also invited the curator, Panos Giannikopoulos, to talk together about the piece that she created for the show.
