About Strange Cities
Strange Cities, produced by the Onassis Stegi in collaboration with London’s Double Decker curatorial team, challenged artists worldwide to depict Athens based solely on sensory prompts—without ever setting foot in the city. Armed with an “inspiration box” containing a recipe, a scent, a poem, a book, and sound recordings, artists crafted personal visions of an unseen Athens. The exhibition aimed to stir curiosity and spark imaginations, inspiring both artists and visitors with an Athens forged through poetic sensory detail.
