"Hydra: Island in the Sound," explores cultural identity, spirituality and mythology of Hydra Island.
Presented in collaboration with Hydra School Projects and the Old Carpet Factory.

Mnemosyne Projects Presents
Hydra Island, Greece
June 20 - September 7, 2025
The storied past and singular essence of Hydra Island form the heart of Hydra: Island in the Sound project. Though largely absent from the grand narratives of Greek Antiquity, Hydra carves out a legacy all its own, one shaped by the interplay of water and stone, myth and memory. Once known as Hydrea (Υδρέα), its name derived from the life-giving wells that first nurtured its existence, the island turned into a a barren unyielding rock that now defines its landscape.
Through evocative art installations, thought-provoking exhibitions, and illuminating discussions, Mnemosyne Projects breathes new life into the mythology of the place. Each newly commissioned artwork created exclusively for the project becomes a vessel through which Hydra’s spirit is reimagined, inviting us to witness the island’s metamorphosis in the language of art.
