Οnassis Stegi lies at the heart of Onassis Culture, the Foundation’s cultural engagement. Onassis Stegi is the place where contemporary culture meets aesthetics and science.

We want to experiment and share new tools for interpreting and transforming the present, capable of confronting its complexity. To redefine the values that guide our choices and imagine, together, other possible and more humane futures. Sineglossa develops projects within a constitutionally and ambitiously European framework and it’s an official partner of the New European Bauhaus.
