EMST Athens Completes Major Exhibition Series on Animal Rights and Interspecies Justice
The National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens (EMST) has finished its extensive year-long program titled 'Why Look at Animals?', which examined humanity's relationship with non-human life through ethical, ecological, and political perspectives. Curated by Katerina Gregos, the initiative included exhibitions across all seven floors of the museum, featuring over 60 international artists, along with public events and screenings. To conclude the program, EMST will hold a symposium and release a publication, reinforcing the exhibition's core argument that animal rights are integral to broader concepts of justice in a world shared by multiple species. This represents one of the most comprehensive artistic investigations into interspecies relations to date.
