“Textures Up Close: A Game of Audiovisual Exploration”
Workshop for children aged 5-8 and their parents/guardians, by the Weave team (Erato Tzavara, Vasilis Tzavaras)
Join the Weave team in exploring the Museum’s collection to discover different colors, shapes, and even imagine or listen to the sounds that fill the space of the artworks. By paying special attention to the diverse visual and sound textures, we’ll observe the images and objects in both contemporary and modern works. Afterwards, we’ll gather with paper, scissors, sound-producing objects, and audiovisual equipment to create a short stop-motion video. Inspired by video art and the Avant Garde movement, we’ll creatively capture the Museum’s colorful and multi-dimensional audiovisual landscape in an abstract, rhythmic, and fun way.
The workshop will be conducted by the Weave team, led by Erato Tzavara (video artist/designer, educator) and Vasilis Tzavaras (musician, composer, improviser, educator).
Date: Thursday, 26 December
Start/ End time: 18:00 – 20:00

“Skits from the Southern Hemisphere, Just Before the New Year”
DJ set/performance by Yorgia Karidi
A DJ set/performance by Yorgia Karidi, dedicated to skits and other interludes, takes you on a musical journey through the grooves and culture of the Southern Hemisphere on a night just before the New Year.
Skits – like sketches, quick drawings or representations of a moment. A staple of jazz, soul, and hip-hop discography, skits are pieces found between tracks on an album, often representing something “other.” An ode to breaks, mismatches, the in-between, and the unfinished, where music resides: dialogues, literature, poetry, field recordings, and rare audio material.
The DJ set/performance will be conducted by artist, musician, and performer Yorgia Karidi.
Date: Thursday, 26 December
Start/ End time: 20:30 – 00:30
Free entrance: Tocafé at Vorres Museum

Artist Bio
Weave
Weave was founded in 2024 by four independent artists driven by the need to unite their forces and enrich their individual paths by aligning them on a common trajectory. Weave is a group of artists and educators engaged in artistic and educational multimedia activities. It consists of Miranda Vatikioti, Michalis Nivolianitis, Erato Tzavara, and Vasilis Tzavaras.
The group’s goal is the design and implementation of workshops, seminars, educational programs, performances, concerts, and publications through the coexistence of speech, image, sound, music, and performing arts. Ultimately, Weave aims to serve as a platform for supporting and integrating projects that actively seek innovative paths of creative expression.
Erato Tzavara (video artist/designer, educator) and Vasilis Tzavaras (musician, composer, improviser, educator) have been collaborating since 2013 on multimedia performances and interdisciplinary educational programs and workshops. A hallmark of their joint work is the creative dialogue between moving images, sound, and music, using techniques inspired by experimental 20th-century art movements.
As members of the group Gnous! (alongside Michalis Moschoutis, musician, and educator), they have presented performances such as “Heidi’s Dream” (2023), “Pick-up Project” (2017), and “Scratch Bam” (2014-2016) at the Onassis Stegi. They have also implemented educational programs like “My Soundscape” (2016-2017) and “Listen to a Story” (2015). Their collaborative projects include “My Notebook,” “Tortoise Classroom,” “Sound-Cinematographing,” the performance “The Incredible Journey,” and audiovisual performances like “Lament” and “Missing Word.”
