SUMMARY:Nepenthe
DESCRIPTION:The Τhis is Athens City Festival welcomes Nepenthe\, a project that reimagines the dance floor by focusing on atmosphere\, detail\, and a deep connection to the city’s architecture. In Korai Square\, one of the most historic corners of the centre\, a curated musical “ritual” unfolds\, transforming public space into a living\, breathing stage.\n\nAs daylight fades into the Athenian dusk\, the steady pulse of house music echoes between the square’s iconic buildings\, striking a perfect balance between contemporary club culture and the city’s architectural memory.\n\nNepenthe is more than just a party; it’s an immersive experience of rhythm and togetherness. It is an invitation to pause in the heart of Athens and see it differently through sound\, light\, and the shared energy of a crowd dancing as one. Come and find your rhythm where the past meets the pulse of the present.

SUMMARY:Photography Exhibition: Oleksandr Glyadyelov – Look at Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2026 Philosophy Festival / European Dialogues organised by the French Institute of Greece\, the public spaces of Athens are transformed into an open platform for historical memory and reflection. The This is Athens City Festival hosts the outdoor photography exhibition Look at Ukraine by Oleksandr Glyadyelov. The artist’s powerful photographs\, presented on large-scale display panels\, will be installed throughout the duration of the Philosophy Festival around the National Garden.\n\nBased on the retrospective tribute exhibition presented in Kyiv in September 2025\, the exhibition offers a deeply sensitive and humanistic reflection on the contemporary history of Ukraine\, from its independence in 1991 to the ongoing war. Through his lens\, Glyadyelov captures with honesty the mobilisation of citizens\, the fragility of everyday life\, and the immense challenges faced by Ukrainian families. A significant photographic intervention that invites passers-by and visitors to the city centre to pause and confront history through a profoundly human-centred perspective.

SUMMARY:Athens Photo World: Michalis Pappas – Mitos\, The Thread of Greece
DESCRIPTION:For the seventh consecutive year\, Athens Photo World returns to the perimeter of the Megaron Athens Concert Hall transforming it into a street gallery\, showing a different and deeply personal perspective on Greek identity. As part of the This is Athens City Festival 2026\, this year’s exhibition features 13 selected photographs from the broader work of Michalis Pappas\, titled “Mitos: The Thread of Greece”.\n\nMoving away from the usual landmarks\, Pappas’s lens focuses instead on traditional costumes worn by contemporary figures\, proving that tradition is not a fossilised relic of the past\, but a living\, evolving process that breathes within our daily lives. It is an evocative connection between yesterday and today\, inviting passers-by to discover the “thread” that links us to our roots right in the heart of the urban fabric.\n\nExhibition duration: 29 May – 31 August

SUMMARY:The Gift That Remained Unopened!
DESCRIPTION:A secret parcel\, hidden among the centuries-old thickets of the National Garden\, awaits its first explorers. For the Athens City Festival 2026\, the B. & M. Theocharakis Foundation invites young citizens to an unconventional adventure blurring the lines between detective work and fine art. Armed with magnifying glasses and “scientific” gloves\, children will track the artistic footprints of the legendary Stephen Antonakos.\n\nDrawing inspiration from the artist’s iconic “Travel Collages” and “Packages”\, participants dive into the world of conceptual art through immersive role-playing and team missions. They will discover how a simple journey transforms into a collage and how a sealed package can contain entire universes\, eventually crafting their own original masterpieces using organic materials gathered directly from the Garden’s ecosystem.\n\nFor 50 years\, this mysterious “gift” has sat patiently in the heart of the city’s most iconic green space. By turning Antonakos’ legacy of sealed artworks into a living\, breathing mystery\, this event offers a rare\, hands-on exploration of the intersection between art and the environment.\n\nMeeting point: Entrance on Vasilissis Sofias Avenue\, opposite the B. & M. Theocharakis Foundation.\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:A Historical Walk with Dr. Iordanis Papadopoulos: Kypriadou
DESCRIPTION:On the fringes of Patisia\, where the urban density gives way to a different architectural rhythm and a quieter Athenian breath\, the City of Athens Festival invites us to discover the Kypriadou district. Guided by Dr. Iordanis Papadopoulos\, this walk unravels the history of a model neighbourhood\, Athens’ original “garden city” that set the blueprint for suburban areas like Psychiko and Nea Smyrni.\n\nAs we wander past grand villas\, hidden ateliers\, and streets that preserve the imprint of a different era\, we’ll trace the footsteps of the so-called “Kypriadis School\,” as the great artist Yannis Moralis once named it. From the architectural vision of Aristotelis Zachos to the homes of legends like Parthenis\, Kontoglou\, Pikionis\, and Argyros\, this neighbourhood emerges as a living canvas of the famed ’30s Generation and the Athenian intelligentsia. This tour connects modernism\, memory\, and everyday life\, illuminating a side of the city that remains charming\, unexpected\, and deeply Athenian.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:Fairytales with Naya Oikonomopoulou
DESCRIPTION:Now\, silence… and all ears!\n\nFolk tales from the oral traditions of Greece and around the world form a precious mosaic of human experience. These are stories not written on paper\, but shaped from mouth to mouth\, travelling through the centuries to reach us today\, carrying with them the fears\, hopes and dreams of entire generations.\n\nIn this performance\, storytelling becomes more than narration—it becomes a living experience. Traditional songs act as the sonic memory of our culture\, awakening emotions and images from a time when people gathered around a hearth to share stories. At the same time\, original music embraces these ancient tales\, giving them a fresh\, contemporary breath that bridges past and present.\n\nMusic: Maria Georgopoulou\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.
