About

Archipelago Network is an initiative for the preservation, documentation, and promotion of audiovisual heritage, culture, and material knowledge on Greece’s Cycladic islands. It involves two central components: the creation of an online audiovisual archive, and a research-based residency. Its scope is to propose an alternative form of preserving the rich and diverse heritage of these island communities in a way that conveys the specificity of their locales, linking them with researchers and artists through a renewable, open-access database.

The founding of Archipelago Network and its first activities have been realized with the support of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) as part of its efforts to enable access to knowledge and culture.

Αrchival collections

Archipelago Network’s online platform hosts the organization’s open access digital audiovisual archive. Its initial collections concern material related to Syros, digitized over the course of its 2021-22 pilot projects.
