Gedurende OMONOIA organiseert de Biënnale van Athene verschillende evenementen, of zogeheten synapses. De eerste, die plaatsvindt op 18 en 19 november 2015, richt zich op “een overweging van de gemene deler tussen groepen academici, activisten, organisaties die zichzelf besturen, cultureelproducenten en anderen die zich bezighouden met grootstedelijke praktijken van commoning, solidariteit, stadswelzijn en participatiedemocratie.”
Op 18 november 2015 draagt artistiek directeur van BAK Maria Hlavajova bij aan het tweede panel, Session II: Rethinking Institutions. “De Biënnale van Athene fungeert als organisator en bemiddelaar tussen kunstenaars, cultureelproducenten en lokale initiatieven, maar ook als institutionele ruimte waarin met begrippen als zelforganisatie, coöperatie, duurzaamheid en grassrootsdemocratie wordt geëxperimenteerd. Het doel is om nieuwe institutionele vormen en allianties tussen cultuurproducenten en kunstinstellingen in Europa te ontwikkelen.”
De sprekers in deze sessie zijn: Max Andrews & Mariana Cánepa Luna, Maria Hlavajova, Leo Panitch, Emily Pethick, Hilary Wainwright en Amalia Zepou (moderator).

In all continents, people have built matriarchal cosmologies sustained by complex rituals. In the advent of main modern religions and after centuries of colonizing invasions, the goddesses of antiquity were suppressed by the patriarchal structures that consolidated our era. However, they found ways to speak to us in the language of patterns, melodies, and poems. This workshop uses the voice as a method to reveal the presence of goddesses.
