Onassis Encounters

A podcast series

Open discussions for all turn into a podcast series for those who are curious about the world around them. Unexpected encounters on the Main Stage of Stegi. This is the first podcast series by Talks & Thoughts.

From 2010 to this day, Stegi has been acting as a meeting point for the local and international academic and artistic community; the Talks & Thoughts project has hosted in Athens hundreds of major figures in culture and the arts from around the world. Public discussions, international symposia, conferences, as well as concurrent visual, music, cinema, and educational events, examine in interdisciplinary ways critical issues that concern society, science, art, and theory in the modern world, encouraging the production of new knowledge and public dialogue.
