In the eighth cycle of bEam arts artist residency, the common denominator of all the works created was the concept of “transmutation”. A transmutation that arose precisely due to the experience of the city of Thessaloniki  for the four artists . The location and cultural context of the city played a decisive role in shaping both the theme and the course of their work. Each artist uses her own means to approach her artistic experience within the city, which ends up being a space of creative transmutation.
