Onassis AiR

Onassis AiR, is an (inter)national artistic research residency program that was established by the Onassis Foundation in September 2019, in Athens, Greece. Driven by our founding principles that are based upon a self-organized and process-oriented ethos towards a less product-obsessed arts ecosystem, Onassis AiR evolves as a growing community of peers from Greece and abroad that have experienced different ways of “cohabitation” in the house that we now call a home. Inspired by the title of a novel by Wilson Harris, in September 2020 we started The School of Infinite Rehearsals. Conceived as a collective research program, The School of Infinite Rehearsals brings together an interdisciplinary group of participants to exchange knowledges and practices around two research topics that we find urgent and necessary to address today and further explore collectively. From individual research needs to fostering a collective research study, the experiential and the tactile have become core components of how we think and practice together.
