New Year in Lesvos and Pagani.


New Year in Lesvos and Pagani.

The wish of many that Pagani becomes a Museum to remind what schould not be any more, anywhere: that people get inprisonned out of the only reason that they had to flee their country and dont have passports when entering a country asking for asylum.
Summer 2010,  some people retruned after the noborderlesvos2009, and followed the traces of the refugees that where inprsionned in Pagani and then are spread all over europe.
The excibition witht their stories was temporary shown inside Pagani , and in the small harbour of Skala Sikaminias specially to thank the fishermen who saved an afgahn family from drowning in Oktober 2009.
Now, two years later, Pagani is still present for those who insist not to forget.Travelling to lesvos you have to go and enter this place getting a feeling about how it might have been for all the thousands of people who where inprisonned there.

Some things last longer : goverments for exemple come and go, ministers too, but tea bags thrown by refugee prisonners
on the ceiling of the cell are still reminding of horor Pagani.


today there is nobody inside Pagani because we wantedt it so!
