The Summer Nostos Festival, including the SNF Conference, is adjusting to our new reality and this year is moving online for a special RetroFuture Edition. 

It’s going to be a weird summer, so let’s get together to make it good-weird. What can past visions of the future—uncannily accurate or wildly wrong—teach us? How can experiences we had when the present was still future inform our experience of our present future? And where's my AI butler, already?

Over the past few weeks, the world has experienced extraordinary and rapidly evolving developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Each day we face a new and different reality. With the health and safety of everyone involved as our absolute priority, it is with great sadness that we announce the cancelation of the 2020 Summer Nostos Festival and SNF Conference.

In line with many other institutions, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) is monitoring the situation with COVID-19 very closely, particularly as it relates to the public events the Foundation organizes. The safety and wellbeing of participants is our highest priority at these events.

Caribou returns with his new album Suddenly, which was released in Greece on Friday and is coming to Summer Nostos Festival audiences on June 24, as part of a dazzling audiovisual show complete with video screenings.

A week for us all to look forward to! Eight captivating, creative, and carefree days in June to feed our minds, bodies, and souls.

What can bring more than 280,000 people together in one place over a span of only a few days? People of all ages—from infants and young children, to the elderly—people who speak the same or different languages, disabled and non-disabled, people who all love the arts, sports, collaboration and dialogue, with many common but also different interests? 

Two days from the SNFestival, we have some last minute news for you.
