Art, storytelling and social engagement


Memento Mortis is a nonprofit cultural organisation based in Crete, working at the intersection of art, storytelling and social engagement. Through performance, film, writing and participatory practices, we explore themes of identity, memory, representation and the narratives that shape contemporary life.
Our work creates space for dialogue, reflection and participation, bringing together artists, communities and audiences to engage with questions of inclusion, public discourse and social experience.

What we do

We develop artistic and participatory projects that combine performance, storytelling, film and creative practices. Our work brings together writing, movement and visual expression to explore identity, memory and the narratives that shape contemporary life.
Through workshops, performances and collaborative processes, we create spaces for dialogue, reflection and participation.

Embodied performance and movement

We use the body as a primary medium to explore identity, memory and expression through performance and movement-based practices.

Storytelling and narrative exploration

We develop narratives through writing, visual media and artistic processes that reflect personal and collective experiences.

Participatory and collaborative processes

We design workshops and creative spaces where participants actively engage, express themselves and contribute to shared artistic outcomes.

We offer workshops and creative seminars based in Heraklion, Crete, and implemented in different locations through collaborations and partnerships.
Our programmes combine writing, embodiment, storytelling and performance with participatory processes that invite reflection, dialogue and creative exchange. Through these practices, we explore themes of identity, memory, voice and collective narratives.
Open to artists, writers, performers and anyone interested in creative expression, our workshops create inclusive spaces where participants can experiment, connect and actively engage in shared artistic processes.

Creative Education & EU Projects

At Memento Mortis (OID: E10314370), we are committed to creative, inclusive and participatory education. We design and implement projects that combine artistic practice with learning, empowering young people and participants to express themselves, collaborate and engage with contemporary social issues.
Our work often takes place in collaboration with schools, NGOs and European partners, integrating performance, storytelling and digital tools into educational and community-based contexts.

Erasmus+ D’ARTIDE Project
We are partners in the Erasmus+ D’ARTIDE project, a European initiative exploring the intersection of performing arts, digital tools and inclusive education.
Our contribution focuses on integrating performative practices with digital storytelling and creative methodologies, supporting students and educators in developing new forms of expression, collaboration and participation.
Through this work, we contribute to the development of more inclusive and accessible artistic and educational environments across different European contexts.

We are open to collaborations, partnerships and new project ideas at local and European level.
