The project

European Heritage Days: Within the framework of the 2015 celebrations on "Violence and Tolerance", the non-profit civil organization Diadrasis, the cultural company peripatos and the  Museum of Political Exiles are organizing a two-day event.

What forms of art did the exiled choose to express themselves in places of exile? The Museum of Political Exiles, besides its rich archival material and everyday life objects, has an important collection of handicrafts and artifacts which will help us realize how violence and intolerance are unfortunately permanent current issues.
