Athens is a city where air pollution from vehicles is widespread, while the intensification of construction activity, often in the name of green development, has caused green spaces to become scarce. The construction of a new metro in the rebellious community of Exarcheia is both an expression of this paradox and a strong impetus for the development of urban ecopolitics from below, as Nelli Kambouri argues in her “Kin City” video talk.
Nelli Kambouri’s video talk is based on the following article: https://berlinergazette.de/requiem-for-trees-rhizomatic-ecologies-insurgent-communities-and-green-policing
The video talk was recorded at the “Kin City” festival, October 17-19, 2024 at the ZK/U – Center for Arts and Urbanistics.
