SEAWARDS Part 2 was live music and dance performance which made new steps out of different cultures that fit together in the city, deliberately out of step with the restrictive rhythms of national citizenship.
On 12 November 2022, Onassis Stegi’s Movement Radio and the Syrian & Greek Youth Forum (SGYF) drew their own map and invited us to wander around Kypseli, at Fokionos Negri and Patission Streets, as well as Agiou Georgiou Square, in four different venues with music as their common thread. They employed the Mediterranean region as a micrograph and projected it on an Athenian district, inviting us on a journey with the vision of a common future for the peoples of the Mediterranean as our only baggage. They focused on the premise of free movement of people and ideas through common narratives, common stories, and sounds of the region, designing routes across Kypseli and highlighting its robust musical and cultural character.
A collaboration between Onassis Stegi’s Movement Radio & the Syrian and Greek Youth Forum (SGYF).

“The way Movement Radio and SGYF integrated the diverse sounds of the Mediterranean into the streets of Kypseli was absolutely mesmerizing. It felt like we were journeying through different cultures and histories, all through music. A truly unique experience that celebrated our shared heritage and future.”
“Walking through Kypseli with the music guiding us was like being part of a living, breathing tapestry of the Mediterranean. Each act had its own vibe, from the energetic beats of hip-hop to the soulful melodies of traditional Middle Eastern music. It was a beautiful reminder of how interconnected our stories and cultures are.”
“The synergy between Movement Radio and the Syrian & Greek Youth Forum created an unforgettable auditory journey. The diverse music, the vibrant discussions, all contributed to an immersive experience that highlighted the rich cultural mosaic of the Mediterranean. It was a celebration of unity and creativity that left a lasting impression.”
