 Η Ελληνοαμερικανίδα καλλιτέχνης Georgia Lale, υπότροφος του Ιδρύματος Γουλανδρή, στην τελευταία της performance με τίτλο #OrangeVest, 
εισβάλλει σε ιδιωτικούς και δημόσιους χώρους της Νέας Υόρκης φορώντας 
ένα πορτοκαλί σωσίβιο...

NYC-based Georgia Lale is a performance artist and a scholar of the Basil and Elize Goulandris Foundation, whose work explores the limits of the human body,
as it questions modern society’s varied responses to global humanitarian and economic issues and crisis.
In her latest work #OrangeVest, Lale invades New York’s public and private spaces, 
wearing an orange life vest. 
The Greek artist walks into museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Arts 
or crosses the Time Square while carrying an important message. 
When she puts on that life vest, she becomes a protester, a performance artist and a messenger of the tragedies taking place in the Aegean sea.
The artist interrupts the reality of a New Yorker, as she becomes a reminder of the 
war in Syria and the countless of lives that have already been lost. 
“Why you are wearing a life vest?” some ask, while others simply ignore Lale 
and her group. 
Through performances, Lale hopes to make more people aware of the 
refugee crisis and raise her own voice, alongside the voices of the thousands of war survivors.  
“My main goal is to bring awareness about this phenomenon, interact with the 
public and engage with NYC communities. 
I’m willing grow this performance to a bigger social engage movement that could 
attract the public interest about the struggle that the Refugees are going through 
in Europe,” explains the artist.
