So Many Ways to Move
On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, Counterpoints Greece returns to the ever-welcoming Municipal Market of Kypseli, presenting So Many Ways to Move—a poetic and politically charged performance on Palestine by the visual art duo chamæleon. This performance is part of the broader project An Artists’ Manual Against Apartheid AAMAA), a collaborative initiative by chamæleon, the Shubbak Festival, Counterpoints (UK), and other partners.
​
In a time when silence amounts to complicity, So Many Ways to Move stands as an artistic act of resistance against apartheid and settler colonialism. Combining electronic music with spoken word, the piece is both a sensory journey and a political statement. It invites audiences to reflect, connect, and take a stand—against genocide, occupation, and systemic complicity. The work explores resistance in all its forms, confronting the physical and psychological warfare inflicted upon Palestine, Lebanon, and the wider region. At once a personal meditation and a collective outcry, it seeks transformation through art.
At its core, the performance is a collaboration between Farah Chamma, a Palestinian poet and performer, and LIEV, a Brazilian music producer and multimedia artist—together forming the duo chamæleon. Through the layering of sound, language, and visual texture, they investigate identity, resistance, and the potential for renewal. This aesthetic becomes a powerful reminder of the proximity of shared struggles and the urgent need for embodied resistance.

“We believe in the power of art—not only to reflect the times, but to move with them.”
— Farah & Liev
