storytelling

oral history

Petra Tilos team, in collaboration with filmmaker Nefeli Papaioannou, in December 2023 started a process to record the oral history of Tilos community around the art of dry stone building, the local masonries and life on the island in the 20th century. The team had 6 interviews and developed 5 mini documentaries, each on a different theme.

The documentaries are about: "Drystone and Cultivation", "Building with Stone", "Community Work", "Water", and "Life in Tilos back in the day".  All films will be available for the community and for Tilos visitors (with eng subtitles) on this website and on Petra Tilos YouTube channel. 

A big thank you to Nikolas and Panagiotis Hadjigeorgiou, nana Sevasty Hadjifounta, Nikos Kammas, nana Stamatia Sakellari, Pantelis Sakelaris and Apostolos Chrysanthakis for taking the time to speak to us.

All documentaries, as well as the 1st DryStone School are dedicated, with love and gratitude,

in memory of Nikolas Hadjigeorgiou.
