Collaborations with Collectives

•Parămus – www.eparamus.org

Co-founder and Co-director

Parămus is a creative ecosystem originated by artists, and is interested in fomenting the value of exchange of Culture within society and stimulating the presence of Art in the everyday life of individuals.

By awakening the creative conscious of individuals, stimulating the renewable capacity of human beings and manifesting forms of collective thought Parămus seeks to be a reflection of a society enriched by culture, interested in artistic practice, that is nurtured by reviving creative sources and looks at itself through Art.

Parămus has various avenues that stimulate the creative ecosystem. These avenues include the Thematic Group Approximations (ThGA) and the Artist in Dialogue Program, as well as participations in artistic venues under the name of Parămus Collective. We are constantly inquiring new ways of closing the gap between Art and Society.
