The 8th edition of POPPOSITIONS will revolve around the term “woke” and how its mainstream popularity and increasing application intersects with corporate and capitalist structures.

The idea of being woke and wokeness concerns raising social awareness, taking actions in response to dominant paradigms, acknowledging one’s privileges towards understanding the struggles of others, and giving space to social bodies that have been silenced, unacknowledged and underrepresented.

With the forthcoming edition of POPPOSITIONS we want to think collectively about what responses and forms of resistance can be formulated when ideologies have become trendy and woke-washing brands cash in on social justice.

Applications are limited to solo shows, which will be assembled by POPPOSITIONS into one single exhibition. All forms of media and artistic disciplines are accepted.


Entry fee:
There are no application fees.
Participation fees to help cover the show’s overhead expenses range from:
S €750 for 15 square meters (limited)
M €1.250 for 25 square meters

it critically by challenging social norms and taboos.
We are looking for creative practitioners who will be open to collaborate,
work with other artists and curators.
Snehta candidates should demonstrate an interest in the local community
of Kypseli or more widely towards other communities based in the city.
We are interested in artists who are driven by a research-based and
explorative approach, and who will engage playfully and creatively with
the city.
We will take artists on board who believe in Art as a vehicle for increasing
awareness and partici- pation in the community.

The project is research based and work made from this research can be
shown in a group exhibition during their residency period. The Snehta
Athens based curator will collaborate closely with the artists and will cocurate
the final exhibition.

We supply each artist with a tailored toolkit, which include sites of
possible interest, maps, art supply shops and useful contacts.

organisations and creative individuals. We ofer artists support to
communicate and pass their message across to these organisations and
individuals.
We encourage, and support resident artists to have an open-studio and/
or an artist led talk event at the interim stage of their residency.
The progress and work produced by each artist will be promoted on our
website and our social media platforms (Facebook/Instagram) and

We can support our artists with letters of recommendation for funding
applications.
We aim to foster collaborations beyond the residency, and will support
returning artists as much as we can via our network.
