Antigoni Tsagkaropoulou

Antigoni Tsagkaropoulou Bunny (b. 1993) live and work in Athens. In their work they explore notions of subjectivity, sexuality, gender, desire and coexistence. Their multidisciplinary work consists of participatory installations, performances and experimental poetic texts. In doing so, they create visionary fictions and subversively show alternative ways of perceiving the world and the subject within it. In 2018 they created Fluffy Library, a year-long hybrid project produced by the non-profit cultural organization ATOPOS cvc in Athens, in the framework of the “World Book Capital” (UNESCO) Athens 2018 and supported by the non-profit organization NEON in Athens. In 2019, Fluffy Library was presented as a solo exhibition at the Arnolfini Centre of Contemporary Arts in Bristol, UK. Antigoni’s works have also been shown at the 6th Thessaloniki Biennial “Imagined Homes”, the 10th Berlin Biennial “We don’t need another hero” in collaboration with Fabiana Faleiros, the “Manifestos for Queer Futures” Festival at HAU Hebbel Am Ufer in Berlin, the Alternative Stage of the National Opera of Greece, the 60th Thessaloniki International Film Festival and at the Goethe Institut Athens. They have collaborated with many artists such as Quimera Rosa and Brooke Candy in their video clip “CUM”. Their latest project is a universally accessible film titled DEN-TATA PEARLS, commissioned and produced by the Onassis Foundation for the Borderline Festival 2021.

About the project

PinkFullMoon is a project that combines a sculptural installation with fiction and poetry. It narrates the notion of sisterhood, collective care, and political resistance to systemic oppression. It explores the difficulties faced by queer people and other vulnerable subjects in the Covid-19 era. PinkFullMoon is a cave inhabited by all the unsung creatures of society who have sought refuge within it to protect themselves from danger. The cave is a therapeutic nest, a shelter of empowerment and community building. Together they create bonds of great intimacy, love and care. They create life, form secret networks, and plan revolt. PinkFullMoon is not a perfect utopia, but rather an unfinished longing for a better future in the middle of a dystopic present.
