How do we heal, how do we stay strong, how do we become resilient?
Cream Athens is pleased to present Remedy, an exhibition featuring new work by 28 pioneering artists, taking place at TAF, The Art Foundation in the heart of Athens, Monastiraki, from Thursday 22 December 2022 to Sunday 22 January 2023.
At a time when the world is facing difficult circumstances on many different fronts, and while the devastating pandemic may appear to be behind us, one theme emerges from Google search data: a global effort to find solutions and remedies, and a deeper search for ways to build resilience and overcome whatever comes our way.
The idea of a remedy can be understood as something that relieves pain or treats a condition; a way to repair or solve a problem; or an optimistic statement capable of overturning negative thoughts. Healing can even begin when someone apologises after a disagreement: it is a restorative process that brings everything into the light and closes one chapter with lessons learned and a new day ahead. Through a visual exploration of what “healing” can mean, the exhibition reminds us how much we need one another—not only for support, but also to face challenges that can only be resolved through collective action.
Featuring new work by Greek and international artists, Remedy hopes to explore more deeply
our capacity—or our need—to keep striving to reconnect with our nature.
