EMST PRESENTS: WHY LOOK AT ANIMALS – A Case for the Rights of Non-Human Lives CURATED BY KATERINA GREGOS

Why Look at Animals? at EMST Athens is a sharp, visually rich exhibition that rethinks how animals appear in art, culture, and everyday life. Inspired by John Berger’s iconic essay and engaging EMST six floors, this incredible show blends video, sculpture, and installation to explore how animals slip between visibility and absence.

Forget metaphors, animals have presence. 

Playful, political, unpredictable. From colonial history to urban streets, this major exhibition shift our gaze from dominance to curiosity, openness and life.
