Educational andAcademic Events
Developed by the Nicosia Municipal Arts Cen-
tre and ReAphrodite
The two exhibitions will be accompanied and unit-
ed by an educational program. This programme
features workshops and academic roundtables for
students, professionals and the wider public.
The Cyprus Dossier (Publication Project)
Aside from the exhibition catalogue, a special issue
of the critical magazine
The Cyprus Dossier
will be
published. The theme is crisis, and it will include
texts by eminent academics and researchers from
Cyprus and abroad.
Editors Peter Eramian, Entafianos A. Entafianos
and Marios Menelaou issued an open call for co-
operation:
Crisis has come to define the post 9/11 era. It has
become so central to our thinking and language
that we hear it uttered in the media almost every
day. But what does it mean? From politics and
the economy to identity and consciousness, cri-
sis has become an everyday existential historical
reality we take for granted. There is an urgency
to understand crisis more critically. When is it
used to oppress, when is it a device for legitimi-
sation, and when can it provoke resistance?

Three “urban” installations at public spaces in Ni-
cosia. As the artist says, his aim is to create “places
of socio-political commentary and reaction in our
space and time proposing a historically and aes-
thetically detached landmark, a landmark capable
of operating as a core of probability, encounter and
communication.”
