Venue Details

Ancient Olympia

Archaeological Museum of Olympia

Arxaia Olybia

Apotypoma negotiates the conceptual dimensions of being uprooted, accepted, and integrated, and by extension of the respect for diversity. How would our life be if we accepted the experiences of the persons living next to us? Where is our fear of the Other, the Foreigner, based?

The fear of that which is different and unknown is the catalyst in a psychological process based on the principle of similarity. The ones who are like us belong to the same group, therefore they are harmless.

But it is this moment of danger, these meetings, that build one’s personality, there where one overcomes their fear, separate themselves from the group, and explore life through their senses. It is from these meetings that the authentic self emerges.
