Vanishing Landscapes is an interdisciplinary research programme focused on the fragile lagoon of Aitoliko (Messolonghi). This initiative will culminate in a four-day public programme on-site in March 2025. Using the museum of artist Vasso Katraki and her early works that document the lagoon and the fishing families that lived in the area as a foundation, artists and researchers will engage with the vulnerable ecosystem. They will listen to the calls of migratory birds, observe the lake, and document the threats, shifts, and changes in this highly delicate landscape. The March programme will open this research to the Aitoliko community, highlighting the environmental challenges the area faces and discussing the role a peripheral museum can play in addressing interconnected ecologies rooted in place, providing solace in a rapidly shifting economic, ecological, and cultural landscape.

Vanishing Landscapes is part of the Transformative Territories: performing transition through the arts European cooperation programme, which aims to redefine the significance of arts and transformative practices within our societies.

From 2024 to 2026, our consortium of six partners will explore the profound impact of artistic practices at a territorial level, spanning Greece, Spain, Portugal, France, and the Czech Republic.
