Stephen Waarts will interpret the highly virtuosic Violin Concerto by Jean Sibelius and the concert will close with Johannes Brahms’ melodious, full of emotional contrasts,Second Symphony.

Stephen Waarts has performed in prestigious concerts halls and festivals in Europe and the US, with renowned orchestras andconductors including Christoph Eschenbach, Marin Alsop, Constantinos Carydis and Nicholas McGegan. During the 2022/23 season, Waarts is making his debuts with the Konzerthausorchester Berlin with Stephanie Childress, and Israel Philharmonic Orchestra with Sir András Schiff. In 2022, Alpha Classics released Waarts’ first concerto recording: Mozart Violin Concerto no.1 with the Camerata Schweiz under Howard Griffiths. Waarts is the winner of numerousprizes and awards including the International Classical Music Awards Orchestra Award by the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra in 2019 and the first prize at the 2014 Menuhin Competition.

Exhibition FIVE
2023-03-31 07:30 - 2023-09-17 11:30
The Department of Antiquities, Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works, announces the opening of the temporary exhibition FIVE.

What was it like living in Cyprus in ancient times? What were the people like, what did they do for a living, what did they eat, did they have hobbies, did they play games or have time for leisure? FIVE adopts an anthropocentric approach allowing us to come “face to face” with the stories of people from the past.

The exhibition introduces scientific bioarchaeological information translated into narratives that (re)create moments of the life of: the man from Souskiou, the diadem child from Dromolaxia-Vyzakia, the man from Idalion, the woman from Omodos and the woman from Lefkosia (Antigonou street). Their embodied experiences are presented by means of creative storytelling, incorporating technology, sound, visuals, archaeological findings and site interpretation in order to make archaeological knowledge more accessible, urging us to review the ways we think and learn about the past. Α separate space annexed to the main exhibition walks us through the basic principles of bioarchaeology, the study of ancient human remains and the information that can be acquired from them regarding the lives of ancient individuals.

The exhibition FIVE is organised by the Department of Antiquities within the framework of the Face to Face: Meet an Ancient Cypriot (FF:MAC) project, coordinated by The Cyprus Institute and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and the Republic of Cyprus through the Research and Innovation Foundation (grant no. INTEGRATED/0609/0029). FF:MAC aims to increase the appeal and accessibility of cultural heritage through encounters with real individuals from the Cypriot past, based on bioarchaeological research.

Anna Alexandrou Art Exhibition, 6-28 May 2023
2023-05-06 - 2023-05-28
Anna Alexandrou Art Exhibition, 6-28 May 2023
«A line, some colour, a random path. A journey has just begun! A search for the soul, a world, an image… Various materials becoming one, trying to fit, to write a course, a line… a life. Through my work, I try to express my thoughts, feelings and concerns. For me this is a game of composition, colour, material, emptiness and fullness on a surface. I experiment with different materials, like fabrics, paper, threads, sewing, letters, words, symbols and anything that helps me to visually compose what I am trying to say.» (Anna Alexandrou, 2015)
The exhibition of the visual artist Anna Alexandrou, which will take place from 6-28 May 2023, at aigaia art gallery, aims to reintroduce Anna’s artworks to the public, as an important contemporary visual artist of Cyprus, with a selection from all of her works.
Her work – purely personal – is an illustrated journey of her experiences, which, through various symbolisms, tell her story. Her work is accessible and multi-layered providing both visual satisfaction and a reason for dialogue, something that the creator herself always sought.

REVIVE Exhibition: Celebrating Cyprus’ Fashion Heritage Through Sustainable Fashion and Art
2023-05-25 - 2023-05-28
Step into the World of Reimagined Cultural Practices at the REVIVE Exhibition: Celebrating Cyprus’ Fashion Heritage Through Sustainable Fashion and Art.

Organized by the Fashion Heritage Network Cyprus (the FHNC), the REVIVE exhibition showcases contemporary sustainable fashion and art inspired by the rich traditions of Cyprus. The FHNC brings together young Cypriot fashion designers and creatives passionate about exploring and celebrating Cypriot fashion heritage through zero-waste and sustainable fashion designs and art pieces. The exhibition features the work of 12 up-and-coming Cypriot designers and artists who draw inspiration from Cyprus’s cultural practices from the past, present, and future.

Aiming to combine ethics and aesthetics, the FHNC seeks to stimulate, rediscover and reinvent elements of Cypriot fashion heritage and communicate these creative shifts to a broader audience through contemporary and sustainable fashion.

The REVIVE exhibition is a unique blend of cultural heritage and contemporary fashion and art, with each participant creating their own installation based on a specific cultural practice. Visitors can expect to see traditional artefacts like chair weaving, pottery, jewellery, and embroidered laces, as well as elements related to important events such as koliva and wedding traditions, and daily life practices like agriculture, farming, and food traditions.

The FHNC believes that craftsmanship and local cultural practices are vital for self-reliance, mindfulness, socio-cultural well-being, and community building. These beliefs are reflected in the FHNC’s REVIVE exhibition which offers valuable perspectives on craftsmanship and local traditions. The exhibition also raises awareness of the importance of sustainability in the fashion industry, as well as showcasing how Cypriot fashion heritage has historically been sustainable through practices such as reuse, natural dyes, repair, and upcycling.

In addition to showcasing fashion and art pieces, the FHNC exhibition promotes youth engagement and participation by bringing together young Cypriot designers and artists from different communities who live in Cyprus or the diaspora to collaborate and exchange ideas. Through art, the FHNC aims to create dialogue and bridge communication amongst all Cypriots.

“We are excited to invite everyone to join us in celebrating Cyprus’s cultural practices through sustainable fashion and art at the REVIVE exhibition,” says Christina Dymioti, the Director of the FHNC. “Immerse yourself in the beauty and uniqueness of Cypriot fashion heritage reinterpreted for the modern world, while exploring the important connection between sustainability and cultural preservation. Experience the metamorphosis of Cypriot fashion heritage through the eyes of young Cypriot designers and artists, and be inspired by their innovative and creative approaches to fashion design and art. Don’t miss this exclusive showcase of contemporary sustainable fashion that pays homage to Cyprus’ rich cultural traditions.”

This exclusive exhibition is a collaboration with the British High Commission in Cyprus, the Australian High Commission in Cyprus, the Gardens for the Future and the Youth Board of Cyprus (ONEK). The exhibition is supported by the Royal Commonwealth Society, Fashion Revolution Cyprus, Commonwealth Fashion Council, Student Life, Home for Cooperation, Circular Economy Alliance, UNFICYP, LCOY Cyprus, Lefkoşa Gençlik Derneği and the Cyprus Youth Council.

Moutoullas revives the art of “skafi” making
2023-05-28 11:30 - 16:00
“Skafi” is a traditional Cypriot kitchenware carved out of pine wood which was used for making bread, and was an essential kitchen item one expected to find in each household throughout Cyprus. To this day, the only people who specialise in the art of Skafi making reside in Moutoullas alone. This is because the process of carving a skafi requires a number of special skills and those were traditionally passed from generation to generation within the same family. The people specialising in skafi making are called “skafarides” and their livelihood used to depend solely on the making and selling of “skafes”.

The work of Skafi making is a unique and important part of Cypriot Heritage, and in 2020 it was recognised as such by the National Intangible Cultural Heritage of UNESCO. In an effort to preserve the art of skafi making, the Community Council of Moutoullas, in collaboration with the Association of emigrants and friends of Moutoullas, and Troodos Development Company have organised an event focused on the importance of skafi making in Cypriot culture and history. The event has been kindly sponsored by the Minister of Education, Sport and Youth, Mrs Athena Michaelidou who will honor us with her presence on the day.

The event will start at 11am and will last until the late afternoon. It will include an informative talk on the art of Skafi making by Mr Feidias Kountouri, academic researcher and author of a book based on the history of Moutoullas, followed by a demonstration of Skafi making by one of the most skilled skafarides (i.e. skafi makers) of our community. Demonstrations of how skafes were used in the older years, as well as how we can use them today will also be available, and the participants will have the opportunity to buy their own handmade skafi should they wish to. A photography exhibition will be available in the area dedicated of course on the history of skafi making, and the event will also include a Cypriot traditional dance show and live music.

Please note that food and drinks will be available in the event on charge.
