Iconography 2.0: Cultural Project of Tradition and Innovation NextGenerationTradition
Start of reservations: 04.08
23.08 — 24.08.2025
Description
Iconography 2.0 is a groundbreaking cultural project that aims to redefine the dialogue between traditional iconography methods, technological innovation, art, faith, and aesthetics.
The event culminates in an original visual art installation at the Holy Monastery of Our Lady of Akrotiriani and Saint John the Theologian in Toplou, Sitia, where light, image, and sound create a hybrid phygital setting that unfolds throughout the spaces of the Monastery and transforms the visitor’s experience into a multi-sensory journey between the past and present.
Byzantine music and the natural soundscapes of Crete engage in conversation with modern musical compositions and poetic texts, supporting the visual works that will be created as part of the three-day educational and artistic programme preceding the event. This polyphonic dialogue among sound, image, and speech allows for the co-existence of tradition and innovation, creating a new, vibrant space for cultural expression, where art becomes the language of faith, memory, aesthetics, and collectiveness.
* As part of the event’s agenda, workshops will be held in Crete (20-22/8), alongside tours, experiential research, and educational tourism (25-27/8).
