SeaPort Art Center is a public platform and curatorial residency based in a two-story building in Athens, anchored by the studio of artist Dor Guez Munayer. At its core, SeaPort is built on the idea of hospitality - welcoming curators, artists, and audiences into a space of exchange, shared inquiry, and collaboration. Alongside its residency program, SeaPort hosts a vibrant public program of lectures, film screenings, performances, and more. Among these initiatives, The Rock Upon Which the Light Walks meals offer intimate, thoughtfully curated gatherings where professionals in the arts share local and seasonal Mediterranean cuisine, enriched by the Palestinian and North African heritage of the host.

In our curatorial program, SeaPort invites emerging and established curators whose work engages the Mediterranean as a site of layered histories, contested narratives, and pressing contemporary concerns. Conceived as both a residency and a discursive arena, SeaPort positions curating as a form of research addressing questions of geography, memory, and translation.

SeaPort challenges essentializing views of the Mediterranean by presenting it as a dynamic contact zone shaped by circulation, displacement, and exchange, emphasizing curatorial and artistic approaches that propose alternative cartographies and shared perspectives. Our building, located at the foothills of Mount Lycabettus, and the Mediterranean are positioned as loci of pluralism, encounter, and possibility, fostering forms of solidarity and cohabitation beyond national paradigms. Our residents are given time and conditions to engage local contexts and develop projects rooted in sustained dialogue, while a shared vocabulary across linguistic, political, and territorial boundaries supports research that is both situated and transnational.

Originally founded in Jaffa and Haifa in 2018, SeaPort relocated to Athens in 2025, expanding its scope while maintaining a commitment to Mediterranean discourse as a field of inquiry and a platform for solidarity. Today, it connects artists, curators, and institutions across the region and beyond, positioning the Mediterranean not as a periphery, but as a central axis of political, aesthetic, and intellectual negotiation.
