The Project

The research project “100memories”, starting from the refugee movement of 1922-1924, takes up the multiple migrations that followed over the next 100 years until today. The study of the past and memory meets the digital world and shapes new (analogue, hybrid and digital) narratives. More here: https://100memories.gr/

The Platform

The 100sources digital platform is a digital repository documenting a century of arrivals and departures.

Narratives

Let us think of our cities as spaces that are constantly woven through the journeys, histories and experiences of their inhabitants, through encounters and conflicts, separations and arrivals that always leave traces – more or less visible – in urban space. By unraveling, but also by intertwining, these threads of movement, habitation, work and daily life, we tell aspects of the history of refugee neighbourhoods.

Bibliography

The bibliography concerns all the research aspects studied in the project on the history of migration in Greece.

Map

The map identifies institutions with archival material related to the history of the refugee settlement of 1922-24, collectives and monuments.

Full Description

The Kefalianos estate was located in Pervolia, south of Chania. Similarly to the other metochi estates, the two-story building at its centre was the owner’s residence. There were also various warehouses and an oil press which was connected to the main residence through a roofed passage. In the recent photographs accompanying this entry, we can see the arched entrance which led to the main courtyard and the roofed passage.

The lands of this metochi were deemed exchangeable and divided among four Asia Minor families. Just like most of the other exchangeable estates, this fragmentation was one of the reasons that the metochi eventually lost its character as an agricultural production unit, since it could no longer guarantee the food security of its residents. Through the years, the main residence was gradually abandoned and is now collapsing, while the auxiliary buildings and part of the arable land have been turned into new residences and small farms.
