Archipelago Network

Archipelago Network: Exploring the Intersection of Visual Culture and Natural Heritage Archipelago Network takes up the Cyclades islands as laboratories for field research, residencies, publications, online projects, and public programs. The initiative works at the intersection of visual practices, cultural life, and the natural environment, providing open access to its digital collections while contributing to the development of local and regional memory through documentation and outreach activities. In its initial cycle of activity, Archipelago Network (AN) has completed thematic projects on traditional boatbuilding, environmental biodiversity, pottery, and maritime trades, spanning the islands of Amorgos, Koufonisia, Sifnos, Santorini, Paros, and Syros. Through its open-access digital platform, AN invites users to explore the rich cultural and natural heritage of the Cyclades, encouraging active participation and awareness of the islands' unique identities.
