RESEARCH
Paros Festival second edition is based on the public history research program "Histories and stories of Paros "conducted in Paros from August 2018 to June 2019. Our research aimed at documenting stories of people of Paros and develop an oral history archive of oral history of the island. Within the scope of the research we properly documented the Historic Collection of Parikia in an effort to facilitate the establishment of a Museum for the people of Paros.

Look for the “Little cinemas” of the Paros Festival all around the town of Parikia. These constructions draw from the small plastic toys that could be found in the 15th of August festival in Paros. Look through these cinemas to see how certain place in Parikia changed.
