Polichnitos Cultural Festival Lesvos 2027

09 Jul 2027 - 11 Jul 2027

Polichnitos, Lesvos, Greece

Water is the beginning of life, but it is also a world of its own: a living habitat, a source of work and memory, and a force that shapes the places and people around it. For this edition of PCFL27, NERO asks us to look closely at the many ways water connects us. It sustains life and habitats; it carries people across borders, changing the course of their lives; and it has long enabled trade, travel and cultural exchange. The sea can be a place of belonging and livelihood, but also a route of migration, departure and arrival. These experiences are part of water’s story, and of Lesvos’s relationship with the wider world.
