Hydra Art Residency at Old Carpet Factory by Mnemosyne projects

Three hundred steps up from the port of Hydra, in the neighbourhood of Kiafa, are narrow walled streets that once protected its residents from pirates; houses are hidden behind wooden doors. One of them opens up to an enigmatic vessel that transcends typologies and eras. Since it was built in the late 18th century, by a wealthy naval captain, this place has attracted creative and ambitious stewards: entrepreneurs, bohemians, artists and musicians, all of whom have contributed to its shifting architecture and cosmopolitan aura.
