P.A.I.R. live events are coming up

The artists’ works from Greece, Cyprus, and Estonia are now in their final stage. The ideas that have been developing over the past months are taking their final form.

Three iridescent bubbles of varying sizes float among luminous, curving lines that slice through the darkness. On their surfaces, in black lettering, appears the phrase: “three countries, three works, three multisensory experiences.” In the upper left corner, the P.A.I.R. programme logo appears in pink, while along the bottom are the logos of the partner organisations and sponsors.

During this period, the artists have been working closely with the partner organisations (liminal, Alternative Brains Rule, and Estonian Agrenska Foundation) and the Collaborative Working Groups composed of accessibility and creative experts. Through creative experimentation with the Creative Accessibility Methodology and through meaningful exchanges, they are bringing their works to life.

What is emerging is not simply work about accessibility, but work that is built through it — embedded in its structure, its decisions, and its ways of being experienced.

In the coming weeks, these works will be presented in three live events across the partner countries. Each event will unfold as a fully accessible, multisensory environment, designed to open up different ways of perceiving, moving, and engaging with the work.

More details on dates and venues will be shared soon.

What is taking shape

Greece – DANCEFLOORS:DISABLED by Lykourgos Porfyris

A sound, light and video installation that imagines future accessible dancefloors through the experiences of disabled people involved in dance and club culture.

Developed from a series of interviews with dancers, DJs, organisers, and nightlife participants, the work shifts between lived experience and imagined futures, asking what an accessible dancefloor might feel like — and what it might make possible.

Here, techno becomes a narrative thread, carrying layered sound, subtitles, sign language, and visual rhythms that translate audio into multiple sensory forms.

Cyprus – Missed Frequencies by Nafsika Hadjichristou

An audiovisual work that approaches perception through the experience of hearing impairment, raising questions about how sound can be felt, read, and interpreted beyond auditory experience.

The work creates a subtle sensory environment where rhythm, attention, and visual cues shift the way meaning is produced, inviting a reconsideration of what it means to “listen.”

Estonia – The Passage by Heleri Luuga, Sara Fontana & Marleen Kuusik

A two-person immersive installation that unfolds as a shared sensory experience. The work creates an environment shaped by sound, textures, and colour, inviting audiences into a collective sensory journey inspired by birth and human relationships.

The experience transforms distance into connection, encouraging two participants to bridge barriers and interact in different ways. In The Passage, interaction is not an add-on but a core element of the experience, with the audience becoming an active part of the work’s unfolding.

Soon, the works will open to the public, creating space for different experiences and pathways. More information about the upcoming P.A.I.R. live events will be announced soon.
