This video is from the gallery's second exhibition "1923-2023: Stories of forced displacement" (September 2023 - July 2024).
The year 2023 marks the 100th anniversary of the Lausanne Treaty between Greece and Turkey and the commencement of one of the largest population exchange between two countries. At the same time, 2023 is the year recording the highest ever number of refugees and internally displaced persons globally, since 1945.
It is against this backdrop that our second season’s exhibition looks into
- the displacement experience on the other side of the Aegean Sea – those who left Greece and went to Turkey. The Others.
-displacement today – refugees and internally displaced persons forced to leave their homes under extreme circumstances, whether these are war or natural disasters.
