Signs of Varosha
A walk in Varosha is a walk about signs. Signs speak. They speak the Greek language of the inhabitants, and the English language of the colonizers. Signs also speak the language of the tourism, of the flourishing place, of the life. There are new signs also, speaking the urban language and the Turkish language.
Paphos Gate gatherings
At the beginning of the Sars-Cov-2 pandemic, the checkpoints connecting the North and the South of Cyprus were closed, and they have been reopened after 15 months. Some divided couples started to meet at the barricades, like Romeo and Juliet, and then many followed, sending far hugs to their friends in the other side and sharing music, poetry and paintings.
Celebration of Art
Celebration of Art is a project for peace. Dance meets paintings, amalgamating complementary expression and emotions. The photos have been taken in the of the exhibition REBIRTH, a touching operation coordinated by the UNFICYP where pieces of art were exchanged between the two communities of the island.
