Tilda Swinton: Ongoing
2026-05-31 18:00 - 23:00 (Europe/Athens) | Onassis Ready, 2 Strati Tsirka, Ag. Ioannis Rentis, 182 33, Greece
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.

The 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.

TiACF 2026 Closing Party
2026-05-31 19:00 - 23:00 | Athinas Str., Athinas Street, Athens, Athens, 105 52, Greece
We never go out with a low-key applause. For this year’s grand finale, we are transforming the iconic Athinas Street into a vast, glowing dancefloor. One of Athens’ most historic thoroughfares will shed its everyday, bustling face, surging with music, lights, and crowds for a closing that will be truly unforgettable.

The evening is a tribute to the timeless magic of disco, the sound that never stopped commanding us to the floor and continues to fuel the fire of today’s electronic music. Top Greek DJs will take to the decks, ready to drop the beat for a non-stop dance marathon packed with glamour, raw energy, and a nostalgic spirit that looks firmly toward the future.

With a massive sound system, a cinematic light show, and thousands of festival-goers merging into one giant crew, Athinas Street becomes the ultimate stage for the most joyful and explosive “farewell” of the year. One last great celebration in the heart of the city, until we meet again.
