imagining collective futures  

screening and conversation with Nafsika Hadjichristou

During March 2026, as part of the MATCH project, artist and filmmaker Nafsika Hadjichristou undertook a one-month residency at La Escocesa. Through conversations, field research and a series of participatory creative workshops, she explored how collective imagination can open new ways of relating to climate change, deep time and the living world, while engaging with community-led initiatives and alternative ways of living across Barcelona.

She now returns to La Escocesa to share the work emerging from this process: an audiovisual piece developed from fragments of conversations, drawings, collages and collective speculation gathered throughout the residency. The presentation will be accompanied by an open conversation and a participatory moment, inviting visitors to reflect on how we imagine- and practise- possible futures together.

bio 

Nafsika Hadjichristou is a visual artist from Nicosia, Cyprus, working with photography, film, and experimental storytelling. Rooted in slowness, memory, and poetic observation, her work weaves together images, writing, scrapbooking, animation, and sound into intimate, tactile reflections on land, resistance, and belonging. With a background in documentary and a deep commitment to collaborative and participatory practice, she has worked locally in her country, as well as in solidarity with communities in Latin America, exploring how storytelling can resist erasure and nurture social change. She sees artistic practice as a space for reflection, community, emphathy and connection— between personal diary, archive, and collective memory. She holds a BSc in Film and Television Production from the University of York.
