Artist Associateship Programme 2021
Over the last month, we have invited 2 Glasgow-based artists to develop their practice under our new Artist
Associateship programme.
We are excited to introduce them to you and share a little bit about what they’ve been working on.
Meet Marios Ento-Engkolo
“I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Glasgow from the rich cultures of Greece and Cameroon. My artistic journey started with photography and 4 years ago dance and performance came into my life, became my passion and the medium through which I experience the world.
Experimental dance and contemporary performance really carry my soul, love and awareness through space and time, as everything is possible and every expression is right as long as it is honest. There are no boundaries and I can tap into different dimensions, creating my unique experience, as our ancestors did.
With my work I am also intending to be of service to humanity, as movements can connect us and unify us. I believe that my divine purpose is to heal, be healed and ascend to higher levels of consciousness and I hope that my practice will inspire people to follow their own paths with honesty and love. “
As part of the Project X associateship Marios will be working on how to develop their practice and movement vocabulary in order to convey more emotion through movement.
