An afternoon at the museum
Activities for all ages
The Museum opens the winter season with a series of activities for both children and adults, in a festive spirit. A special DJ set at Tocafé, a guided tour of the permanent collection of contemporary Greek art, and a creative workshop for families await you in an afternoon–evening program from 18:00 to 01:00.
“Traveling objects: stories from Pyrgi,” Weave
Workshop for children aged 5–8 and their parents/guardians by the Weave team (Erato Tzavara, Vasilis Tzavaras).
18:00–20:00
Come discover together the folk art collection of the Vorres Museum through a game of image, sound, and imagination! Children and parents explore Pyrgi and its simple, everyday objects that carry stories and memories. What might a vase or a plate have to tell us? Through how many storms did the chair we now see sitting quietly inside a home once pass? What sound did those storms have—what did the journey of the objects sound like?
Through poetic surrealism and imagination, we bring objects to life in order to create unexpected, poetic landscapes, where the real meets the imaginary with the help of sound and image.
For the visual part, we will work with collage and then, using green screen, we will live-record the movement of the objects within the surreal landscapes we have created.
In the sound-based part of the workshop, we set objects aside and work only with our voice and body. We imitate and produce sounds, composing live the sound/music backdrop of our small stories.
“Abstract art and environmental awareness,” Evita Tsokanta
Guided tour led by art historian Evita Tsokanta.
19:00–20:00
The tour will explore the dialogue between the postwar trend of abstraction in Greek art and the natural environment, through selected paintings and sculptures from the permanent collection of the Vorres Museum. The Vorres Museum, offering a rare viewing experience of modern and contemporary art within the natural Attic landscape, provides fertile ground to discuss how art can act as a valuable catalyst for ecological awareness.
DJ set, KOSTADIS
20:00–01:00
On December 26 at the Vorres Museum, Kostadis will present a curated DJ set, drawing material from a wide musical spectrum. From the electronic scene to more classic and timeless influences, the evening will unfold through carefully chosen selections and fluid transitions that highlight the diversity and expressiveness of sound and rhythm.

Konstantis Michail (Kostadis)
Konstantis Michail is a sound artist, self-taught multi-instrumentalist, and sound engineer based in Athens. As Kostadis, he develops a personal sonic universe that moves between electroacoustic composition, live electronics, and improvisation. Recently, he has increasingly turned toward composing music for image, creating sound environments for moving image, audiovisual works, and contemporary forms of multimedia storytelling. A core axis of his practice is the continuous exploration of the relationship between space, rhythm, and the materiality of sound.
In the DJ sets he presents as Kostadis, his selections move between electronic motorik rhythms and tracks with a strong sense of spatiality.
