Lazaretta – 2020

Lazaretta was a multi-level project involved in the production and presentation of Greek and international digital culture by reference to the two Lazaretta, of Siros and of Corfu, and inspired by the modern historical moment of the pandemic.

The aim of the project was to highlight the cultural heritage, the importance, and the role of digital culture to give artists an opportunity to create in times of confinement, to stimulate local communities by giving them an active role, to design new cultural pathways through the use of new technologies and set the foundations for international synergies.
