AN at the Piraeus Bank Group Cultural Foundation

The Piraeus Bank Group Cultural Foundation (PIOP) organizes a forum titled “Fishing in Greek Seas: Economic Activity and Cultural Heritage” featuring distinguished researchers working in the fields of environmental and maritime history, social folklore, anthropology, and fisheries research.

AN’s Participation:

18:45 | Jacob Moe, founder and director of Archipelago Network – Talk: Fishing in the Cyclades, 20th century–today: community archives and oral history, Jacob Moe, founder and director of Archipelago Network

19:00 | Documentary screening, Fishing Tourism in Santorini (Production: Archipelago Network · Direction: Jacob Moe · Duration: 15’)

About the event:

Marking World Fisheries Day, the forum focuses on the sea as a primary provider and a defining element of identity for island and coastal communities, as well as on fishing—once a cornerstone of the Greek economy and still an integral part of the country’s history and local traditions. In recent years, interest in recovering and studying historical data related to fishing activity has grown significantly. This shift highlights the role of fishers as stewards of marine resources: a valuable natural capital that forms part of the national wealth, both economically and ecologically.
