Ithaca symbolises the Return and True Journey is Return to quote Ursula Le Guin. Wherever you travel, no matter how many magical places you meet, no matter how many experiences enrich your knowledge, no matter how many colours and aromas fill your soul, always in your mind an Ithaca is there for you and the return to it gives value and importance to your journey.

Return 2 Ithaca (R2I) curating Art & Artists Program is a 15-days residential project in Ithaca, where international artists produce work on the ideas and meanings of the Odyssey and internationally curators curate their work.

The group of creatives are then invited to develop exhibition pieces on the current R2I’s theme. This will conclude with an exhibition across Europe the upcoming fall from the residency.
