ARTistry in the Exile Museum
We collaborate with the Exile Museum in Athens in order to design a series of educational and other cultural activities. Using material from the rich archive of the Exile Museum (photographs, everyday living objects, crafts and artworks), participants will better understand and explore forms of diversity, learn and discuss the concept of exile and the lives of exiles.
On Saturday October 1st 2016, we open the museum to the public organising an open day with various educational and informational activities. Interactive guided tours, craft workshops for adults, educational programmes for children and film screenings have created an atmosphere of acceptance of multiculturalism and respect for diversity, providing a unique experience for visitors
