“Step into art, culture, and sustainability 🌍🎧 — Scan the QR and join the Prosper Art Tour: a performative walk that transforms tourism into poetry.”
Prosper Art Tour grew out of the PROSPER project and was created to keep alive and connected the artworks developed by 16 artists during the residencies in Ohrid and Evia, turning them into a story future visitors can always return to. The walk combines visual art, performance, poetry, text, and sound, offering more than quick sightseeing — it’s an invitation to slow down, listen, and feel how art and place continue to shape each other.
The project is co-funded by the Creative Europe program of the European Union and supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of North Macedonia. @creative.eu

Echoes of the Deep: From Berlin, For Ohrid — A Message in Return
Inside each of these plastic bottles — found drifting in the waters of Lake Ohrid — are messages written by our Berlin audience. Messages of care, sorrow, love, and warning.
Now, these bottles are making their way home. Not as waste, but as carriers of voices. Not as pollution, but as memory.

Practicing Pluriversal Thinking:
Deconstruction of Internalized Colonialism
We failed. And it’s not fine for everyone.
We live in a moment where the cracks in the system are no longer hidden. The collapse isn’t coming—it’s already encoded in the everyday. Supremacist ideologies, once enforced through brute colonial force, now operate through quieter, programmed violations: in data systems, in global platforms, in algorithmic values that reproduce domination in digital form. While this soft warfare expands, many communities—those long treated as errors within the colonial matrix—have sustained parallel ways of being. They developed strategies of survival, care, and creation that were never meant to be recognized as valid.
As artists, activists, and cultural workers, we’re not just being asked to critique. We’re being pushed to reimagine the ground beneath us. To take apart what globalism called “progress.” To face what we carry inside—those internalized colonial codes.
What this workshop offers
This workshop doesn’t offer solutions—it opens space. A space to begin again from zero. To break the illusion of a single world and a single truth, and to step into the complex, multiple realities that have always existed. This is what we refer to as pluriversal thinking—not as an abstract idea to admire, but as a vital strategy for staying alive and making life accessible for all. In this workshop, we will confront the ways new media and technology still reproduce Eurocentric logics. We will unlearn design as a form of control and ask how tools, systems, and collaborations can instead become acts of care, resistance, and shared difference.
Framing the format
This is not a toolkit, and it’s not a seminar. It is a collective pause—a space to slow down, to listen deeply, and to trace the stories, practices, and strategies that often fall outside institutional frameworks, yet have always made other worlds possible.
// In a blink
Catastrophe can be personal or collective; an abrupt act of violence or a longer process of decay; human-induced or natural disaster. It is a total change of paradigm, something that challenges everything we know in the blink of an eye. Catastrophe is no longer a surprise, it is the state of the world, it is what we expect – pandemics, devastating wars, hideous displays of aggression, floods, wildfires, etc. But how does soil/body/mind react?
Devised theater performance with the working title In a Blink focuses on a moment in which recovery begins, the ambivalent moment where healing starts, still interwoven and inseparable from the catastrophic event. By stretching this moment, the performance aims to explore how grief and growth intertwine in complex ways. It searches for the origin of biological, psychological, societal, and environmental resilience.
Date: May 20
Time: 8:30 pm
Location: TAK, Prinzenstraße 85 F, Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany 10969
As the PROSPER project comes to its final culmination, we are overjoyed to present you with two performances taking place at TAK in Berlin, based on the residences that took place over the course of the past two years.
Echoes of the Deep is an original immersive theatre project inspired by the rich history, myths, and ecosystem of Lake Ohrid. This site-specific experience will transport audiences into the hidden, underwater world of the lake, exploring its untold stories through a unique sensory and theatrical journey.
Three actors will guide spectators through an evocative exploration of space, time, and the mysteries beneath the surface. Designed as an intimate experience, each performance will last approximately 30 minutes and will be limited to a small number of participants per session to maintain an immersive atmosphere. To ensure accessibility for all interested audiences, the performance will be repeated multiple times.
Date: May 20
Time: 4-8pm, 2 slots per hour, each session 30 minutes
Location: TAK, Prinzenstraße 85 F, Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany 10969
“In my experience, healing happens when a place of trauma or pain is given full attention, really listened to. Healing is the resilience instinct of our bodies, a skill we unlearn as we are taught to pay for and rely on data and medicine outside of our own awareness to be well. ”
Excerpt From
Emergent Strategy

🎧Tune into @90milradio tomorrow 13:00 - 14:00 Berlin time for monthly radio show ether FM - poetic embodiment of care.
In this episode, I will present the field recording project in the burnt nature during art residency this October in Greece.
The first time I entered the burnt site was a rainy late afternoon before sunset.
We could hear death and despair in this silence, heavily. So deep and profound that it turned into a kind of stunning beauty.
It had been 3 months after the wildfire, somehow the smell of burning was still present.
We passed by bunt trees and animal skeletons, while also seeing some green started to grow from the soils.
The land is heavily traumatized but sill showing strengths and resilience to regenerate.
Based on the field recording material, I made a sound installation - Sonic Incubator, intending to depict the process of healing through the sound and create a space for bodies to experience its vibration.
For the radio show, I extended the piece to 1 hour and edited the sound to fit into the radio format.

My move to Northern Evia, Greece, sparked an unexpected relationship with the land, reshaping my understanding of the environment and my place within it. Immersed in a landscape marked by beauty and struggle, I reflected on how deeply the land influences human experience and identity.
Land in motion explores the relationship between the landscape and personal transformation, focusing on the mutual reflection of human and environmental wellbeing. My work during the residency highlights the delicate balance of resilience and vulnerability shared between the land and its inhabitants, raising questions about our treatment of the environment and our quest for progress and control.
Sofia is a photographer exploring themes of identity, memory, and change. Through deeply personal narratives, she captures a journey of self-discovery that connects intimately with broader social and emotional contexts. Born in Thessaloniki, Greece she spent almost two decades living abroad before settling in North Evia, Greece, where she continues to document her evolving relationship with her surroundings.
