The House of Mohammed Ali Pasha is a place of learning and creation for children and school groups. Throughout the school year, students and teachers visit the museum, take guided tours and participate in various educational activities. The experience at the museum is enriched with play, learning and creative expression. Education goes beyond the boundaries of the classroom and explores the city’s monuments that still preserve something of its past.

The exhibition by the artists Latent Community (Sotiris Tsiganos and Ionian Bisai), centers on Black inhabitants of Avato village’s reflections on their identity and their history, which is often traced to the slave trade of the Ottoman Empire. Avato explores the often-overlooked history of Black presence in Greece and uses the history of a single village to consider how to discuss identity when established terms carry complicated pasts and new terms are equally fraught. It also grapples with the question of how art can engage with subjects’ ambivalence about being the focus of outsiders’ artistic interests.
