A drawing by Picasso, the planning of a historical battle, a conspiracy in the courtyard of a medieval kingdom or a shopping list for the supermarket. Could all of these, equally, be considered plans? Can we think about \u201cDESIGN\u201d as something beyond the etching of a painting surface?

EMST invites you to participate in a workshop by visual artist Panos Sklavenitis, titled \u201cDAYSIGN: From the animal\u2019s side – August in Athens\u201d, in order to plan a special day in your life; the artist will encourage you to imagine an out of every-day-routine plan and then implement it and record it.
