ΝΟΣΤΟΙ explores the way that storytelling, history, myth, memory and experience of the Ionian Islands off the western coast of Greece (Kerkyra, Paxi, Lefkada, Ithaki, Kefalonia, Zakynthos and Kythera) fuels the imagination and identity of the diaspora in Queensland.

The exhibition is the result of a three-year collaboration between the Antiquities Museum and Ionian Islands diaspora communities in Queensland. It combines artefacts, documents, garments and photographs from public and private collections with newly recorded oral histories to create a rich tapestry of how the islands are remembered, experienced and passed on to future generations.

Proudly presented by The University of Queensland RD Milns Antiquities Museum, UQ Arts, the Kytherian Association of Queensland, the Ithacan Society of Queensland, and supported by Friends of Antiquity and the Kytherian Brotherhood of Queensland.
