🪼Seulement 25 % des fonds marins sont cartographiés.

L’oeuvre audio-visuel « Ocean is future » nous entraîne dans ces profondeurs encore inexplorées. Ces images captivantes sont tirées d’opérations du Nautilus, un navire d’exploration qui sonde les régions inconnues de l’océan. 🔬
�
On y observe un monde encore caché : sous-sol liquide, monts, cheminées hydrothermales et étranges êtres aquatiques. Le collectif Latent community nous invitent alors à dépasser nos visions coloniales de l’océan en nous laissant absorber par les profondeurs. 🦑🪼

is pleased to announce PCAI ‘s collection artists Latent Community participation at the group exhibition collapse: data.models.worlds. curated by @katerina_gkoutziouli and @daphne_dragona .
The exhibition addresses the intensifying state of crisis shaping the contemporary world, examining the role of technology within it. Drawing on current debates around the possibilities and limitations of technological infrastructures, it explores their entanglement with social and ecological issues, from the past to the present.

On view from March 5 to April 2, 2026, at @saigon_athens

For the exhibition @latentcommunity present the artwork Dark Source: Cloud Extraction.
Cloud Extraction marks the first iteration of the Dark Source, an ongoing critical research project on extractivism, unfolding as a poetic video essay that examines the unseen connections between mineral extraction and data mining.
The research takes place in the lignite villages of Western Macedonia, focusing on the social and economical impacts of the lignite extractive practices, the desertification of the region and their long-term consequences on the land scape and local communities

Organised by @vektor_athens

During the opening of the exhibition Avato at the Mohammed Ali Museum in Kavala, members of the community, and collaborators in our ongoing project, spoke publicly for the first time about the identity, struggles, and future of modern Greece's oldest Black community.

Mohammed Ali Pasha (1769–1849), founder of the dynasty that ruled Egypt until 1952, initiated the Ottoman slave trade through which the ancestors of the Black community of Avato were forcibly relocated.

His former home, now a museum, became a space for the community to inhabit through a photographic installation and a video, as parts of our ongoing research. The opening also featured the public talk by three community representatives in the museum’s courtyard.

We thank Jenkis, Giulseren, Ogun, and the entire community of Avato, as well as Anna Missirian and MOHA Research Centre.

Exhibition design: Dimitris Antoniou, Ismini Micha
Graphic design: Vicky Katsarou

In collaboration with the MOHA Research Centre, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Public Humanities Initiative (SNFPHI), and Latent Community.
