Casts of an Island - 1.6 - 31.10.2024
2024-06-01 - 2024-10-31
This exhibition marks a pivotal transformation of an old industrial building in Limassol waterfront into a public space. The Carob Warehouse is one of the most significant modernist structures in Cyprus. It was built in 1960 by local engineer Andreas Papadopoulos and architect Fivos Polidorides and is located between Limassol Marina and the New Port. The PSI Foundation is being created there to secure and renovate this marvel of Cypriot architecture and to propose a strong program to celebrate its conversion into a major cultural venue.
The PSI Foundation invited collector and curator Nicos Chr. Pattichis conceived the very first exhibition in its premises. The exhibition deals with Cypriot Contemporary Art and hosts 43 artists with over 120 works from the last 35 years. Several of the artworks, notably political in nature, date back to after the checkpoints opened in 2004, with new additions and creations inspired by the exhibition.
The exhibition highlights a tumultuous historical era for Cyprus during the last 50 years and commemorates the tragedy of 1974 when the Turkish invasion was followed by the division of the island. This period was marked by numerous efforts toward healing and societal restructuring amidst significant global upheavals. The artistic expressions evoked by Nicos Chr. Pattichis cover a broad spectrum of proposals that range from varied painting techniques, constructions, installations, and videos, all representing facets of creative endeavor relating to the unity of universal culture. The artworks featured are curious accumulations of diverse materials, transformations of archival substances and everyday objects with reimagined aesthetic roles, along with new mappings between fictive urban planning and psychogeography. This creative polyphony naturally leads to deep reflections on critical issues tied to historical memory and social progress across all sectors of ‘real’ life, fostering the development of new thinking aimed at building a redemptive worldview. Most of the works are part of the non-profit organization CYCO (Cyprus Contemporary Art Center).
The exhibition takes its title from the monumental installation ‘Casts of an Island 2024’ by Socrates Socratous, that can be described as ‘the casts or more precisely, the imprints of the island’ of Cyprus. The design and the curator’s theoretical approach create a narrative arc through a sequence of thoughts and ideas, forming thematic units and dialogues among the works. This method constructs an essay-like approach with clear allusions to both the history and national imagination of Cyprus.

Anna Achilleos Staeubli "Mesogeios" - 7-29.6.2024
2024-06-07 - 2024-06-29
Solo Art Exhibition in Encaustic, first presented at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens in August 2023 and NOW 7th of June 2024 at Marginalia Gallery in Nicosia at 19 :30 until 29 June 2024 and. Opening by his Excellency the Swiss Ambassador Mr Chrisoph Buergener. The theme is the mediterranean sea as is best described in the text below in an ancient greek technique, Encaustic with beeswax, damar and pigments on wood with the use of fire.
The Sea as a bodily substance in the works of Anna Achilleos-Staeubli
ἅλς (A), ᾰος[ᾰ], ὁ, dat. plur. ἅλασιν· Lat. SAL, piece of salt, in Herod.; generally,
salt, often in the plur., in Homer. etc.; ἁλὸς μεταλλον, salt mine, in Herod.,
Homer etc.
ἅλς (B), ἁλός [ᾰ], ἡ sea, in Homer
ἅλσις, -εως, ἡ (ἅλλομαι), leap, bounce, in Arist.
Forty paintings created with encaustic technique by the international artist Anna Achilleos-Staeubli especially for the recreation area of the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, attempt to spell out and give meaning both symbolically and literally to the sea in its Homeric substance: ἅλς with a windy alpha of beginning, a fluid lambda of continuity, a serene sigma of saltiness. Sea, as a shell and living palimpsest with magical content. As a triumphant primordial source of life, as an eternal nurturer but also as a live crossing of cultures, a vibrant claimer of borders and a dynamic mean of communication. To understand and sing it as a deep sea and an ocean, as a magical myrrh and a pelagos, as a faraway poros and as an nexhaustible pontos, as chaos and as vibration, as dizziness and peace. They attempt to measure it mentally, taking us on a journey through the Mediterranean of the entire Greek civilization, from the Ionian and the Aegean, the Propontis and the Black Sea, to the Myrtle and the Libyan Sea. To capture it as the primordial raw material that permeates and defines so many of the precious
exhibits of the National Archaeological Museum.
In this original installation by the painter, the sea expressed as a dotted organic body, as a rainbow of innumerable shades of blue and as a mysterious shell of creatures and myths, is presented triumphantly, without the need for narrative means. Created with a fascinating spectrum of different and unexpected colors and tones that go back to ancient Greek painting, it is treated as a first-of-its-kind find and creates a mythical plain of successive psychographic instants and eternal oceanic coordinates. Driven by her imperative need to render the majesty of colors, the rhythm of shape, the desire of touch, the ecstatic moisture, the permanence, the inexhaustible dept and breadth and the primordial secret undulation, Anna Achilleos-Staeubli has
devoted herself for decades to both inherent difficulties of the technique and the exciting possibilities of encaustic art.
Within her yet unexplored seas, we discover the possibility of a new execution carried out with unerring technique and transcendent artistic quality. Thus illuminating the multiple layers of history, the expressionist emotion of the fluid and improvised pigment, the extreme materiality, the imperceptible shading and the expressive gesture of painting in its finest.
Approaching this dominant timeless Greek symbol in a non-narrative and inventive way, Anna Achilleos-Staeubli creates from the beginning an excellent sparse but densely tangible painting semiology that captivates the viewer from its first sparkle to its very depth.

The 8-day long journey through the myths with the fair maidens, the fairies and the iron-clad knights who battle dragons and villains, transports us to a world of fantasy, mystery and magic. Through the fantastic parades, the re-enactments of events and the daily lives of people from another era, the storytelling through music and song, the Medieval Festival of Agia Napa leaves an indelible social and spiritual imprint of the legends.
The Medieval Festival was first celebrated in the year 2006, and it has managed to become, after 18 years of successful events and collaborations with other Medieval Festivals such as the Medieval Festival of Rhodes, Malta – Mendina and the Carnival of Venice, to become one of the largest in Europe. Music and dance performances, street theaters and narrative tours by groups of dancers, musicians, artists and students from Cyprus and European countries, follow the footsteps of medieval exploits. The festival also offers bazaars with handmade products and homemade food of that distant era and exhibitions of textiles, weapons and embroidery, which can be found along the passage of the Monastery of Agia Napa during the eight days.

Following the success of previous years, WIP24 promises a unique experience where art, technology, and innovation come together to explore the challenges and opportunities of our present and future.

Through this theme, the festival investigates the complexities of our techno-driven present while seeking to clear the beclouded visions of our potential futures.
Hosted at the newly renovated Old Municipal Market, which now houses the CYENS Centre of Excellence, WIP24 makes use of this unique venue to bring together artists from around the world who utilize new technologies to challenge the boundaries of reality.
A Platform for Exchange and Exploration
WIP24 offers a wide range of activities, including exhibitions, workshops, talks, and performances, providing a platform for dialogue between artists, scientists, technologists, and the public. Visitors can explore topics at the intersection of art and technology through the variety of engaging formats, and the exciting opening party in the heart of the old city.
Key Venues and Highlights WIP24 will take place across several venues in Nicosia, including the CYENS Agora Building, the Wood & Metal Workshop, Dimarchou Lellou Demetriadi Square, and Theatro Polis. The highlights of the festival are:
· Opening Party on October 18th at Dimarchou Lellou Demetriadi Square, with live music, interactive displays, and performances.
· Workshops and Talks by international experts at the forefront of art, science, and technology.
· Exhibitions from international artists working in interdisciplinary contexts.
The Future of Arts and Technology in the Mediterranean
Organized by the CYENS Centre of Excellence, WIP24 is quickly becoming a key platform in the Eastern Mediterranean for scientists, artists, and technologists working at the intersection of these fields. It aims to be a reference point for those exploring the ever-evolving synergies between arts, science, and technology.

Olive trees and Mediterranean: a unique harmonious coexistence, perfectly connected and identified for centuries create a special culture, the culture of the Olive Tree, a part of the Mediterranean Culture.
The olive trees coexist with humans in almost all Neolithic settlements of the eastern Mediterranean, including Cyprus. Thus, the existence of monumental olive trees, due to age or natural characteristics, is expected.

The Ancient Olive Tree Festival, which will be held under the auspices of the Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment Dr Maria Panagiotou, opens festively at 11.00, hosts 25 exhibitors, 4 experiential workshops for children, olive oil tasting, rich local gastronomy, and a musical program with dances and Vasiliki Hatziadamou at 17.00.

Regatta of Champions – The R.O.C. - 27.10-3.11.2024
2024-10-27 - 2024-11-03
After several years of reviewing Optimist sailing events worldwide, the changes in sailing and the rapid transition to a technological race that has somehow relegated sailors and coaches to secondary status, Famagusta Sailing Club and Chesva 2.0 collaborated and organized for two consecutive years the pioneer for the sport of Sailing, the Championship of Champions.
Regatta of Champions – The R.O.C., was the result of a four-year effort that finally reached the implementation phase in 2022. The two partners worked together and created a type of event that had never been done before, worldwide. An event that can be held anywhere in the world, in any country and in any category, using the sponsors and standards of the organizers. Scheduled again this year on 27/10 – 03/11 and using the same pattern, the top 45 Optimists from around the world will be invited to The R.O.C. Applying a difficulty formula, invitations will be sent to the top sailors of the IODA World Championships, as well as all IODA Continental Championships (European, North & South America, Asia and Oceania, and Africa). At least 20% of invitations will be for girls. If a Continental Championship is not completed before the R.O.C., invitations will be sent to eligible sailors from the same continent, the previous year.
All invitations will be sent through the National Federations and addressed to specific sailors. If the invited sailors are unable to participate in the event, then the invitation will be transferred to the next ranked sailor. In addition, there will be 10 Wild Cards for sailors to claim during 2024. One Wild Card will always go to the National Champion of the country or the top athlete of the Club hosting the event. The remaining 9 will be split into 2 sailing camps with the top 2 winners from each camp getting invitations, either through existing international races held around the world. Once the fleet is invited and formed, the 3rd Championship of Champions will once again take place in Limassol, Cyprus. The event will last a week with 4-5 competition days, and plenty of events.
Participating sailors and coaches will be chasing the Champions Cup, but mainly an academic scholarship prize money of €40,000 which will be awarded to the top 12 sailors in the form of scholarships for academic expenses and to the top 3 coaches in the form of prizes.
The participation fee will cover registration, accommodation, meals and boat charter and will cover actual costs. One or two boats will accommodate all coaches. However, optional boat hire will be available, per coach.
On the official website of the event, www.regattaofchampions.com you can find all the details and rich photographic material of last year’s event, which left an excellent impression on the participants, attendants, visitors and managed to win the interest of the global sailing world, for the innovative this idea and its excellent implementation, adding value to today’s sailing events around the world. Remarkable, unique and highly effective in its aim, the promotion of the event, including all events and sailings, through the live streaming service, leaves all those interested, worldwide, with the most positive impressions.
The organizing committee of the Race is ready, with more experience now, to work even harder for even bigger thrills.

“Nachtland” by Marius von Mayenburg - 1.11-14.12.2024
2024-11-01 00:00 - 2024-12-14 00:00 | THOC New Theatre Building, 9 Gregori Afxentiou, Lefkosia, state, 1096, Cyprus
THOC New Stage: “Nachtland” by Marius von Mayenburg, directed by Athina Xenidou
From November 1st, 2024
Rehearsals for the premiere of “Nachtland”, a play by Marius von Mayenburg, are in full swing. The production will be presented at the New Stage of THOC starting from November 1st, 2024.
Written in 2022, Nachtland is a witty and provocative comedy. It offers a daring commentary on the gray areas of the past, our roots and legacies, the manipulation of history, and the intersection of art and money. How do we manage the past? Can a work of art be separated from the life of its creator?
The story follows two siblings who, after the recent death of their father, reunite in their family home to resolve various matters. While sorting through their inheritance, they discover a watercolor painting in the attic. This unexpected discovery raises moral dilemmas and leads to precarious conclusions and ambiguous decisions. The narrative unfolds around this painting and its possible creator. Is the signature A. Hiller or A. Hitler? The painting opens up conflicts, forcing the family to confront both their own dark sides and the shadow cast by Nazism and the Holocaust on recent German history.
