CURRENT AND UPCOMING EVENTS
Sotiris Tsiganos and Ionian Bisai (Latent Community) present the outcomes of their project exploring Avato (literally, “a site that should not be accessed”), a village in northern Greece that is home to a long-standing Black community. Avato features community members’ reflections on their history (usually traced to Ottoman slave trade) and places it in the context of national narratives, with the goals of acknowledging the extensive but often-overlooked story of Black presence in Greece and using the microhistory of a village to address issues of identity, whiteness, and belonging in Greece today.
