Onassis AiR Programs 2022/23

Zoom IN and OUT

In the aftermath of the pandemic and of the major social and political changes happening in the world, we ask ourselves: how do we stay relevant to the needs of our artistic community?

Since the beginning of Onassis AiR, we have worked on shifting the way we work with artists. By practicing peer-to-peer methodologies we have tried to establish a different culture of being and working that is not based on the binary of offering and accepting an offer, and to create a program and space for artists and art workers to set their own conditions for the development of their work.

In order to prevent stagnation and stay relevant to our times, in November 2021 we initiated a process of reassessing the needs of the people who are or will be part of Onassis AiR. Through a series of community meetings with all our past participants our aim is to collectively think and devise a new participatory model for Onassis AiR that actively engages its artistic community in its future programming. To honor the time and energy needed for this process, we decided not to release a new Open Call, but instead open up to existing collaborations and colleagues of the Οnassis ecosystem and to offer the time, space and resources for them to develop their research and practice.

Tailor-made Fellowships

An open-ended program offering time and space, tailored to the individual research needs of our community.

The Tailor-made Fellοwships running between September 2022 to July 2023 are individual research fellοwships that are addressed to the broader Οnassis ecosystem. These Fellοwships adopt an open-ended form and stem from the participants’ needs. All participants are invited to use the Οnassis AiR space and resources in order to develop their proposals without the expectation of presenting a final work. Instead, they are encouraged to engage with the broader community of Οnassis AiR during the fellowship by offering something back to it in the form of a workshop, an in-progress presentation, a lecture or screening, or any other format they wish to propose.

You can find the individual research proposals of all nominated Fellows below.
