About

In addition to providing affordable, maintained, and well-appointed studio spaces for creative workers, Work in Progress Studios hosts residencies, educational workshops, exhibitions, readings, and a dedicated research library centred around arts, literature, and theory providing a free educational resource to all visitors. One studio is allocated to supporting women working in the creative industries who have experience of seeking asylum, through a collaboration with Athens-based mentorship network Dila.

Works in Progress Studios operates at the intersection of creative, queer and asylum seeking communities, providing a space in which these often disparate groups based in Athens can exchange ideas and collaborate. In bringing together people who work in different disciplines, from diverse cultural and social backgrounds, WiPS works on the principle that such encounters are essential to translocal solidarity and the production of complex culture.
