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.

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:Skiadareses Live
DESCRIPTION:The Skiadareses—twin sisters Olga and Niki—take over Koumoundourou Square for a one-off live show. From the moment they began writing songs in a small bedroom\, it seemed destined that their music would find its way online and strike a chord with thousands.\n\nTheir songs are raw\, honest and refreshingly unfiltered—stories of love\, heartbreak\, joy and sorrow that resonate far beyond personal experience. Capturing the emotional uncertainty not just of their own generation\, but of anyone who’s ever felt deeply\, they bring authenticity to the stage\, one lyric at a time.
