In this series of recorded encounters we speak with the participants of Onassis AiR to shed light on their artistic practices and needs, as well as to reflect on ways of being and working together. Today, I'm having a conversation with Margarita Pita, a freelance lawyer, mediator and social artist based in Athens. In parallel to her practice in law Margarita has worked as a creative producer for numerous participatory arts projects spanning from community arts and cultural integration to research and management. She's the co-founder of Movement Lab, a safe space for physical theater, laboratory training and movement based projects against gender based violence. Margarita is a participant of The School of Infinite Rehearsals Movement V, with a collective research focus on the notion of self-organization. In this conversation, we start from the intersection of art and law in her practice to discuss the issue of self-regulation and the role of negotiation within self-organization.
