SUMMARY:Does your village have graphic novels? Ours does!

SUMMARY:The secret language of trees
DESCRIPTION:Could the secret language of trees have been the world’s first natural internet – with roots instead of fiber optics? The theory of the “language of trees”\, also known as the “wood wide web”\, suggests that forests form communities where trees communicate with one another and exchange nutrients through their roots to maintain a balanced local ecosystem. In this workshop\, designed by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC)\, participants will work beside a natural forest to create their own forest installation using recyclable materials\, accompanied by the sounds of nature. The aim is to understand the importance of forest preservation and biodiversity through a distinctive artistic experience that combines theoretical knowledge with artistic expression.

SUMMARY:Traditional Nyfopazaro comes back to life
DESCRIPTION:What exactly was the traditional nyfopazaro (bride market)? Something like the Tinder of past era? Let us travel back a few decades\, to a time when\, at every celebration and feast day\, the young men and women of Vamvakou would dress in their finest clothes for the customary nyfopazaro. \nImagine Vamvakou and its narrow alleyways finding their voice and sharing stories and centuries-old secrets through the Digital Cultural Route. The atmosphere will be filled with melodies\, while local residents become part of the experience\, reviving the gestures\, glances and spirit of this old social ritual under the guidance of Zoi Drakopoulou.

SUMMARY:In the footsteps of the stone craftsmen of Lagadia
DESCRIPTION:Were the stone craftsmen of Lagadia creating the first “design objects”? Or simply… “tourakia” [stone benches]? In this workshop\, we retrace the paths of our ancestors\, returning to the fundamental materials of clay\, lime and stone. Join us in reviving\, in Vamvakou\, the valuable heritage of the master builders from Lagadia\, Arcadia\, who shaped the village’s identity. Picking up the thread from the old artisans\, participants reconnect with their architectural roots through hands-on restoration work on fountains and cobbled paths\, in collaboration with the association “Flowers of Stone” and the General State Archives of Laconia. \nBoth on Saturday and Sunday\, visitors will also have the opportunity to observe and participate in the restoration of Pera Vrysi in Vamvakou.

SUMMARY:“Look at this beautiful orchard”
DESCRIPTION:A traditional music performance dedicated to the three gifts of the earth –wheat\, wine and olive oil– will take place at the 6th Vamvakou Experience Festival\, curated by professor of ethnomusicology and creator of the television programme “Salt of the Earth – To Alati tis Gis”\, Lambros Liavas. \nAt a time when the climate crisis has become a constant threat\, these “sacred songs”\, rooted in folk traditions and rituals\, invite us to reconnect with nature and the fertility of both the earth and humankind. Folk songs function as a form of contemporary “musical ecology”\, celebrating and symbolically invoking the elements of nature and the fruits of the land\, wisely woven into the two major cycles of Greek folk culture: the cycle of life and the annual cycle of the seasons.
