Onassis Publications

The publishing series of the Onassis Foundation listens to and records trends in contemporary research, showcases the voices of today’s most significant Greek creators, and raises questions about issues that will concern us in the future. By opening a creative dialogue among artists, researchers, academics, and both local and international readers, the Onassis Publications’ titles highlight the importance of critical thought, experimentation, and collective reflection. This year brings new titles with themes that resonate. The distinctive world of photographer Pinelopi Gerasimou in the photobook We the People, Sofia Dona’s study of Athenian penthouses titled RETIRÉ, and Tasos Gkaintatzis’ exploration of rituals and local festivals of Northern Greece in Transpatial Gestures are just a few of the upcoming publications. Four more volumes bring us closer to the texts of performances presented this season at Onassis Stegi: The Little Prince Blues by the legendary Greek rock artist Giannis Aggelakas, A Voracious Shadow by subversive Argentinian director Mariano Pensotti, and La Distance and By Heart by acclaimed Portuguese theater-maker Tiago Rodrigues.

The Onassis Publications’ titles are available at selected bookstores and at the Onassis Stegi shop.
