Trans_experiences
aims to invent mechanisms
that transfer the experience of the buffer zone into
a real space, in order to redefine the perception
of the boundary and to generate new spatial con-
nections and transmutations. Through transient
interventions, different elements are assimilated,
intermingled and transformed, leading to a new
‘crossing experience‘.
[Stephanie Keszi & Georgia Frangoudi]
The Stitches - Connecting the ‘two Nicosias
’”
again proposes a functional stitch aiming at
joining the broken threads of the city. Sound
becomes a tool in the urban context, promoting
revival through encounter. Creating common ex-
perience aims to surpass this zone of prohibition,
which remains in space not only as an urban gap
but also a gap in the memory of the city.
The
Stitches - Connecting the ‘two Nicosias’
is a call
for the occurrence of more stitches.
[Maria Costi de Castrillo]
The
GreenLineScapes Laboratory
seeks to initiate
healing ecologies in the physical and psychologi-
cal rift of the Cyprus buffer zone, where the un-
tamed forces of nature have engendered a sponta-
neous process of cicatrisation. It suggests there is
an opportunity to create a beautiful scar through
the creation of an ecological landscape of memory.
