Un-official Guide of Paros 

2025

MA Final Project

This project is an alternative archive of Paros, looking at the island beyond its summer image as a tourist destination. Through stories, visuals, and fragments, it highlights what is often unseen or at risk of disappearing — from cultural spaces and everyday life to environmental challenges and acts of self-organisation.

Developed through workshops, questionnaires, field research and documentation, the project builds a living, participatory archive that can be continuously enriched by locals and visitors alike.

At its core, it asks how design can act as a tool for storytelling, memory, and resistance - helping communities reframe their own narratives against dominant external perspectives.
