Digital publication
Through extensive archival research and after getting in touch with researchers from the Greek-speaking populations of Southern Albania (the so-called Northern Epirus), I created a publication exploring the perils of identity formation in the context of diaspora. Channeling my own background as I am myself part of this community, I created a universe where one can see how the claimed objectivity of historical material can be constantly challenged and manipulated. In this piece, institutional authority challenges an identity that has also been institutionalized by a different center. It is thus a question about the ways in which a community can be peripheral in more ways than one.
Inventing Revolution | ATOPOS cvc, 2021
Digital Group Exhibition & Artistic Workshop
Christina Rosi participated in Inventing Revolution, an artistic project organized by ATOPOS Contemporary Visual Culture in collaboration with the 11th Painting Studio of the Athens School of Fine Arts, as part of #RevoltingBodies, a multidisciplinary initiative led by artist and researcher Alexis Fidetzis.
Her work, Fragments of a Red Era (2021), was presented digitally within the framework of the project, which explored the concept of Invented Tradition, the construction of historical narratives, collective memory, and national identity.
The project took place in May 2021, engaging participating artists in a critical reflection on history, cultural heritage, and the ways in which the past is interpreted and reconstructed through contemporary artistic practices.
