The exhibition presents large-scale digital prints of the original artworks of the Fireart art collective. The works contain timeless images of refugees, based on lived experiences and narratives. A range of materials and techniques (drawing, color, digital media) are used.

The team participates in the action in order to highlight the obvious right of people - victims of wars, interventions, and reactionary regimes - to seek a safer life in other countries, now that the refugee-immigration problem has been aggravated. However, a definitive solution to the problem can only be given only when each people in their country organize and fight for the overthrow of the system, which breeds war, poverty, and immigration.

The exhibition aims to highlight a historical aspect of prisons, often left in obscurity, such as their function as confinement and torture units for political prisoners. The oblivion of the bourgeoisie's political crimes against the struggling people is a real historical crime. That alone makes the struggles seem futile. Against this crime, we are asked to measure our stature through this exhibition.

In a dystopian scenario, life on Earth becomes unbearable due to a pandemic, and a company, Future S.A., undertakes to colonize a new planet, the X.

On the occasion of the completion of one year since the start of the pandemic and the titanic struggle of hospital staff to cope with the needs of patient care in conditions of understaffing and underfunding of the public health system, the art collective is organizing this specific action with the aim of supporting the work and the requests of health workers now that the public health system is struggling with the consequences of the second wave of the pandemic, which is highlighted by long staff shortages and continuous underfunding.

What does it mean to be free? Is it enough not to be chained? Is freedom an inner state of mind, something subjective? Can it be understood in isolation from the natural and social environment of man? Who ultimately limits the sphere of development of our activity? Is it "the other"?  Or is it our very ignorance of natural and social laws that inactivates our ability to choose, make decisions,  to be aware of the problems? Does this ignorance deprive us of the social and moral responsibility to act? We need to realize that the developments in science and the possibilities offered by technology can free us from what holds us captive.

The object of the exhibition is war and the peaceful coexistence of people. It gained particular importance after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine but also in the face of the sharpening of the rivalries between the bourgeois classes of Greece and Turkey. FireArt artists thought that our neighbors, the Turkish artists, would be the best partner to do a joint exhibition and event about the war. The goal was to reflect on the causes of wars, which are always the same, hiding behind the sharing of markets, energy pipelines, the serving of economic and political interests. Through our works we try to reflect on this, to highlight the consequences of wars, to show that our people suffer from the same causes, they live in the same way. And to invite the public to decide what should be done next.

At the opening, the interactive performance "The Box" was presented by the artists of FireArt, on the theme of the impasses of capitalism.

FireArt art collective attempts to join its voice with all the neighboring peoples, to emphasize what unites us: the common bitterness and common suffering, the dreams for a better future through the solidarity and struggles of our peoples. We invited artists from neighboring countries to organize a joint exhibition on the issue of the coexistence of peoples, highlighting all the above concerns. 

Participating countries: Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, The Czech Republic, Romania, Slovenia, Serbia, North Macedonia, Italy, and Mexico. 

This collective act was dedicated at the time that the site of Eptapirgion served as a prison for political prisoners and as a site of execution for militant fighters. A site where rivers of
blood has been shed, setting an example of resistance and fighting.
Our goal was the conservation of historical memory.  Thus, we proceeded with historical research by collecting archival material, conducting field studies, guided tours of the site, and meetings with former political prisoners of Eptapirgion.

FireArt Art Collective in collaboration with the Committee for International Détente and Peace of Thessaloniki is organizing an art exhibition on the 25 years since the bombings in Yugoslavia. As artists and as humans we continue to denounce the imperialist powers that decided at that point to use this area of Europe for their plans, for world domination. That planned and carried out a crime supposedly in the name of peace and stability, under the pretext of ethnic differences, to the revival of which, the same forces had decisively contributed.
During that war, the people of Greece showed their support and solidarity to the people of Yugoslavia with massive demonstrations, and by blocking the port of Thessaloniki, the roads, and the borders, slowing down the advance of war material and military forces towards Yugoslavia. Today, 25 years later, we want to keep alive the message of solidarity and the struggle of people against brutality, exploitation, and the planning of new wars with the pretext of peace.

In this exhibition, artists from Greece and the countries of the former Yugoslavia take part.
