The Walking Society - Christina Skarpari (ENG)

With strong ties to Phyti, a tiny village known for its embroidery tradition, Christina Skarpari uses her research and practice to rediscover her heritage and connect with the rural communities inhabiting the villages spread across the island’s mountains.
Christina is interested in reshaping the social narratives around hyper capitalistic systems and self-sustaining traditions. She launched the Xarkis Festival in 2013 to mobilize and unite the diverse communities living on the island.
