SUMMARY:Connect Athens: Building Bridges for the Mental Health of At-Risk Youth
DESCRIPTION:The This is Athens City Festival joins forces with IASIS (Civil Non-Profit Organisation) and the Connect Athens Youth Centre through the second edition of the Connect Athens Festival\, contributing to raising awareness around the mental health of young people experiencing vulnerability and social exclusion.\n\nThrough the event “Building Bridges for the Mental Health of At-Risk Youth”\, it brings to the forefront contemporary challenges such as loneliness\, uncertainty\, lack of purpose\, and the emergence of delinquent behaviour. In the discussion panels\, young people themselves join their voices with experts and institutional representatives.\n\nThe aim of the event is to transform personal experience into collective action\, linking the needs of young people with concrete policies and practices at both national and European level. At a time when social cohesion is being tested\, the Connect Athens Festival highlights that vulnerability is not an individual issue\, but a shared challenge that calls for connection\, understanding and meaningful support in order to create an inclusive future for every young person in the city.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:Tilda Swinton: Ongoing
DESCRIPTION:Marking its fifth year with a great collaboration with Onassis Stegi\, we offer an encounter with one of the season’s most keenly discussed artistic propositions. At its centre is Tilda Swinton\, a figure who has long moved with deliberate\, almost defiant ease between cinema\, fashion\, and the visual arts\, each appearance less a performance than a considered cultural gesture.\n\nThe exhibition Ongoing\, presented at the recently inaugurated Onassis Ready\, resists the tidy framing of a retrospective. Instead\, it unfolds as an active\, evolving dialogue between Swinton and a close circle of collaborators. Among them Pedro Almodóvar\, Luca Guadagnino\, Jim Jarmusch\, Joanna Hogg\, Tim Walker\, Apichatpong Weerasethakul\, Olivier Saillard\, and Derek Jarman. Through short films\, installations\, and photographic works\, the exhibition gently dismantles and reassembles the layers of her artistic identity\, moving between the dreamlike and the intimately personal. The result is a multi-stranded exhibition that illuminates her rich creative journey and her profound connection to contemporary art.\n\n20 invitations are available from the Onassis Stegi for 22\, 24\, 29\, and 31 May – 5 invitations per day.\n\nBookings open one week before each event at 12:00 noon and are made via this page.

SUMMARY:Maria Kritikou: New Realms
DESCRIPTION:Art Zone 42 presents the new solo exhibition by Maria Kritikou New Realms\, offering Athens’ art-loving public a distinctive and dynamic visual experience that redefines our relationship with both the natural and the imagined landscape.\n\nThe art historian Evangelia Kairaki notes\, Maria Kritikou’s painting is driven by an intensely interactive and energetic relationship with the canvas\, recalling the philosophy of Action Painting. The artist moves freely within an undefined and expansive space\, where organic forms\, aquatic worlds and dreamlike environments undergo radical transformation. Rather than pursuing a faithful representation of nature\, Kritikou embraces a Taoist\, almost mystical interpretation of the visible world\, bringing the environment into dialogue with the inner\, spiritual dimensions of human experience.\n\nA compelling visual journey that invites visitors to discover evocative new horizons in the heart of Athens.\n\nOpening: Friday 22 May\, 20:00–22:30\n\nExhibition Duration: 22–30 May\n\nOpening Hours: Tuesday\, Thursday & Friday: 15:00–21:00\, Wednesday & Saturday: 12:00–16:00\, Monday & Sunday: Closed
