Date and Time: 09/05/2026, 18:00 - 21:00

Workshop language: Greek & English (bilingual, depending on participants’ needs)

Detailed Description:

This workshop is a 90-minute introduction to DJing, designed for people who are curious about the practice but feel overwhelmed by gear, terminology, or where to start. Rather than focusing on technical complexity, the session introduces DJing as a practice: how DJs think, how they build flow and energy, and how music selection shapes an experience. Participants will be guided through the basic concepts of DJing, see a simple live demonstration, and gain clarity on what learning DJing actually involves. The workshop is suitable for complete beginners, music lovers, and early-stage DJs who want a grounded and realistic introduction.

Goals & Context:

• Demystify DJing and remove intimidation around equipment and technique

• Introduce DJing as a creative and listening-based practice

• Help participants understand whether DJing is something they want to pursue further

• Create a shared learning experience in a relaxed, non-competitive environment

DJ Patsas: Born and raised in Cyprus, Patsas has spent over a decade curating warm, playful sets that move fluidly between house and disco, always keeping the dancefloor moving. Beyond DJing, his work explores the social and communal side of electronic music. Through projects such as Brandy Sour, Strangers, and Unfiltered, he has been creating spaces for dialogue, listening, and connection, contributing to the growth of a local scene that values authenticity, shared experience, and cultural exchange as much as sound itself. As a DJ, his career has continued to expand in recent years, with appearances at local events and festivals, opening sets for artists including Gerd Janson, Fafi Abdel Nour, Demi Riquísimo, and Matisa, as well as performances in Greece, Malta, and Albania.

Detailed Description: We meet to talk about the images we love (or would love to take), how we "read" them, and how we could express ourselves through them (no previous experience or special equipment are required). We bring our favorite photograph, discuss it, learn basic photographic principles, and... take pictures! Using the image we have chosen as a starting point, we will discuss what it means to take photographs and how a camera (or a mobile phone) can be used, sowing the seeds for our own photography project. In a two-session creative workshop, we will explore photographic techniques, learn about the work of selected photographers, and investigate the ethical use of the photographic medium – with the aim of better understanding our personal intentions and discovering new ways of personal expression.

Goals & Context: The aim of this workshop is to allow participants to use photography as a concious medium of expression, and familiarise them with its power of storytelling, raising awareness and enriching imagination. At the same time, through this process, participants will be able to have a better understanding of ethical issues raised when photographing people, places and things. Bringing closer artists and non-professionals, it can function as a starting point of understanding art not as a luxury, not as a privillage, but as a vital aspect of our lives.
