SUMMARY:Painting Flowers
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek.\n\nCome celebrate the month of flowers with sustainable art activities!\n\nInspired by the unexplored forests in Vasilis Theoharakis’ artworks\, we discover the nature of the National Garden. On paper leaves\, we imprint the infinite shapes of tree bark and explore the unique patterns of nature around us.\n\nDid you know that nature can paint? We create colors from natural materials and color our own compositions. A fascinating activity that stimulates our senses\, developing a new perspective on everything around us.\n\nThis activity is aimed at children aged 4-7.

SUMMARY:First Cemetery of Athens: An Open-Air Sculpture Gallery
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek.\n\nArchaeologist and guide Michalis Giohalas leads a tour through the sculpture garden of the First Cemetery of Athens\, in collaboration with the This is Athens City Festival.\n\nDescribed in the early 20th century by sculptor Thomas Thomopoulos as encompassing “the entire movement of modern sculpture\,” the cemetery stands as an open-air museum where art\, memory and history coexist.\n\nFrom the great names of Greek sculpture to the personal stories behind the graves\, this walk offers a fascinating journey through time. It reveals little-known aspects of funerary art in modern Greece—along with very human tales of vanity\, greed\, artistic rivalries and unfulfilled love.

SUMMARY:Fairy Tales in the Museum Courtyard: Electra Nega
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek.\n\nShh… A story is about to begin…\nOutside the window of my childhood room\, in the backyard of the house where I grew up\, my grandfather had dug a huge well. It wasn’t covered\, only carefully fenced with wire mesh by my father\, “so no child falls in\,” as he used to say. I never got close to the well\, I was afraid. Not because “I might fall in\,” but because I knew that at the bottom of the well lived a large water snake with a golden crown on its head. I could hear it singing at night with the frogs…\n\nI am Ilektra Nega\, a storyteller of the oral traditions of the world’s peoples.\nCome and join us for storytelling\, about small and large heroes\, who\, with faith in themselves and love in their hearts\, achieved what seemed impossible to all.\n\nAlexander Kontogeorgakopoulos is an academic and artist\, whose interdisciplinary work bridges art\, science\, and technology. He is an Assistant Professor of Interactive Arts at the Department of Digital Arts and Cinema of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.\n\nStorytelling by: Ilektra Nega\nMusic by: Alexander Kontogeorgakopoulos

SUMMARY:Anything but Marble
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek. \n\nFor nearly 60 years\, British artist Phyllida Barlow created monumental installations that were both threatening and playful. She made large-scale sculptures using cheap\, humble materials such as cardboard\, fabric\, plywood\, gauze\, and plaster. As she herself states\, “In the past\, sculpture carried historical narratives. Marble dominated and celebrated individuals.” One of the individuals traditionally celebrated in sculpture was Darwin\, who was a distant relative of hers—something she carefully concealed to avoid being seen as “privileged” because of her lineage. By rejecting traditional sculpture\, she renounced her own past through her work\, forging her unique artistic identity. Drawing inspiration from her practice\, we will work with humble materials and create small-scale hanging sculptures. Workshop leaders: Vivian Emmanouilidou\, Visual Artist – Museum Educator & Magda Athanasiou\, Educator – Museum Educator. \n\nThe workshop is aimed at children aged 7-11.
