While this SNFestival: RetroFuture Edition is far from normal and far from its home at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) in Athens, it’s still about enjoying artists we know we love while being introduced to new favorites. About grappling with ideas that push us outside our intellectual comfort zones while soaking up the good vibes shared time together. About how journeying out into the unknown makes returning home that much sweeter—the spirit of “nostos” that gives the festival its name.
Anna-Kynthia Bousdoukou, iMEdD Managing Director, SNF DIALOGUES Executive Director, and journalist, will host and moderate the SNF Conference. Magician Mark Mitton, together with a very special personality from Greece (stay tuned to find out who!), will host the Summer Nostos Festival.
Join an SNFestival unlike any other, June 21 to 28, 2020.
