On Behalf of Emerti

by Joancaronil

Joancaronil is a Lesvos based artist that draws inspiration from the natural landscapes and ecosystems found in the medditerranean. During his time with ODD, as a candidate of our #creativelesvos Ελληνικό Πρόγραμμα Υποστήριξης Καλλιτεχνών (Greek Artist Support Program), he developed a multimedia project exploring the intersection of mythology, maritime history and migration.

On Behalf of Emerti was inspired by the ancient Greek myth of Enalos, a story that interweaves love, sacrifice and migration set on the shores of Lesvos. The produced work was shared through an interactive audio tour, ending at the Çarsi Hamam in Mytilene, Lesvos.
