WHO are we?

LatoMeio (Λατομείο), which in Greek means Quarry, is a physical space in Leonidio village, in Peloponnese/Greece, but it is also a community connected mentally through the alignment of our movements/thoughts/practices around the world.
​
LatoMeio Residencies are scheduled meetings for artists who gather in Leonidio, live and create together during their stay. We have organized 3 residencies under the name "The Martian Chronicles Residencies", inspired by the homonymous book by Ray Bradbury. We aim to reflect collectively on the ways we inhabit new spaces and the ways we can relate to our environments in a holistic, inclusive way. The village of Leonidio, with its unique architecture and impressive surrounding nature, as well as the area of the old Quarry, constitutes a playground for exploration and endless creative possibilities.

Our experience with the artistic practices shared at the LatoMeio Project led to the creation of Multiscapes Lab, directed by Eleni Danesi, an educational/research platform that works at the intersection of artistic research, embodiment, and ecological thinking.
 
Rooted in architecture, performing arts, and neuroscience-informed practices, our work explores how bodies and environments shape one another through perception, movement, and lived experience.
​
Our approach is grounded in Somatic Architecture and the BODYMIND Architecture method, which understands the relationship between humans and landscapes as bi-directional: bodies influence spaces through movement and use, while landscapes shape bodies, nervous systems, and ways of knowing.
​
R.E.W.I.L.D is our artistic research residency framework and methodology for our 4th edition.
 
It supports embodied, place-based inquiry by treating rewilding not as a return to nature, but as a process of recalibrating perception, attention, and creative practice through direct engagement with landscapes, materials, and more-than-human ecologies.
​
Through residencies, collective research formats, and experiential learning environments, we support artistic practices that move beyond rigid disciplinary boundaries and approach ecology as a lived, relational, and embodied condition.
