1923-2023: Stories of Forced Displacement
For its second year, theBasketGallery is organizing two exhibitions looking into forced displacement- past and present.
More and more people continue to be uprooted from their homes through the world. The causes that force people’s displacement are interconnected through systematic human rights violations.
The year 2023 marks the 100th anniversary of the Lausanne Treaty between Greece and Turkey and the commencement of one of the largest population exchange between two countries. At the same time, 2023 is the year recording the highest ever number of refugees and internally displaced persons globally, since 1945.

If you are a refugee or a migrant or come from a refugee or a migrant family and you want to share your story, you can send us a photo of an object that you or your family brought to Greece from their country of origin, along with a short text telling the story of that object and your family. Your photo and story will be posted on Instagram, facebook (The Basket Gallery) and in our last side-event closing our second exhibition, in June 2024.
