In the frame of her exhibition at Onassis Ready, Tilda Swinton invites audiences into an intimate, open‑ended exploration of creative life. Under the title “Fellowship, Art, & Nature,” the masterclass reflects on the networks of kinship—artistic, emotional, and chosen—that shape an artist’s practice over time.

Drawing on her long-standing collaborations, such as the ones with Pedro Almodóvar, Luca Guadagnino, Joanna Hogg, Derek Jarman, Jim Jarmusch, Olivier Saillard, Tim Walker, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and her devotion to friendship as an artistic method, in the spirit of “Ongoing,” Tilda shares insights into how art is made collectively, how relationships become creative engines, and how the boundaries between nature, life, work, play, art, and fellowship can meaningfully dissolve.
Echoing not only the themes of her exhibition but also the broader curatorial focus of Onassis Stegi’s current season, the masterclass opens up a space to reflect on the natural, social, and emotional ecosystems that sustain artistic creation today. Conceived as an informal and generous encounter, it offers a rare opportunity to revisit these themes through conversation, storytelling, and shared reflection with one of the most singular figures in contemporary cinema and performance.
