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:Karagiozis the Ecologist
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek. \n\nA brand-new comedy full of hilarious lines from Makris’ beloved Karagiozis—perfect for the whole family! In Karagiozis the Environmentalist\, Greece’s favourite barefoot shadow puppet hero faces a mysterious threat hiding in the leaves of the tree outside his shack. Anyone who walks under it ends up cursed with misfortune. The Pasha orders the tree to be cut down—but Karagiozis has other ideas. To him\, trees are sacred: they offer oxygen\, shade and beauty to the world\, and must be protected. Will he find a clever way to save the tree and banish the evil lurking in its branches?

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
