This event has passed, but we have recordings—Day 1 and Day 2 are below!

On Saturday March 28th and Sunday March 29th, 2026, the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens, Greece, hosted a virtual and in-person two-day symposium entitled “(Against) Animal Capitalism.” The speakers included CAF grantees Jo-Anne McArthur, and Rimona Afana, and three Tom Regan lecturers: Syl Ko, Charlotte Blattner, and Dinesh Wadiwel. The symposium saw the launch of a book based on the ongoing groundbreaking “Why Look at Animals?” exhibition, curated by Katerina Gregos, who received the 2025 Nancy Regan Arts Prize. The book contains a preface by CAF ED, Martin Rowe, on arts and scholarship in animal advocacy. The symposium was organized by artist and scholar Terike Haapoja (whose art is featured above).
