SUMMARY:To The Sea With Her Names
DESCRIPTION:Mixed Media Exhibition: A group show by six Asian Artists \n“A name could be signified by a memory and in turn prompt a story\, it can compose identity\, or conjure character. This project’s aim is a group exhibition\, in a common site in Cyprus\, but also a name that has existed for hundreds of years\, thinking about the possibilities of resonating with foreign perspectives.\nArtists from diverse backgrounds will engage with local communities and look beyond borders. The artists not only work in local contexts\, but also trying to reply to the contemporary dilemmas common to the global.\nArtworks begin from the relationships developed in Cyprus\, exploring various dimensions like the role of the sea\, geopolitics\, historical diversity\, local industry\, and traditional crafts. From the artist’s memories and experiences in his own social relationships\, he summons different stories.\nThese stories look at the relationships and tensions hidden by the grand narrative\, such as the emotions erased by history\, the time lost in the wear\, the determination to preserve life in the conflicts and Political wrangling\, and so on. They are ambiguous\, irrelevant to directivity\, but discordant sounds\, ubiquitous\, and real\, mixed.\nThe repeated waves are like the cancellation and return of history\, and we hope to add diverse faces to the ocean of history through the flexibility and imagination characteristic of art.” – Shaoan Huang

SUMMARY:Home/ Hope
DESCRIPTION:International Guest Artists Exhibition. Part of the Parallel Events Program of Larnaca Biennale 2023. \nVisiting hours until November 24th\nMonday Closed\nTuesday – Friday 12:00 – 20:00\nSaturday – Sunday 10:00 – 20:00 \nHOME/HOPE is a capsule exhibition centred on notions of belonging\, identity and our dreams for the future at the Larnaca Biennale in Cyprus. Curated by Yev Kravt\, this exhibition features 30 guest artists\, all exploring the intricate theme of “home” from diverse perspectives. \nJust a single letter differentiates home from hope; but does the notion of home exist without hope\, and can hope truly surface without a place to call home? The subject of belonging opens up a myriad of stories\, told in a multitude of ways. Home is a world we create\, where we can unapologetically be ourselves. Hope\, meanwhile\, speaks to a world set free\, brimming with possibilities. Whether our aspirations are personal or collectively shared\, our inherent ambition to strive forward and evolve ushers in visions of a brighter tomorrow. \nHOME/HOPE explores these intertwined notions\, telling tales through the works of 30 selected artists. The exhibition takes cues from several pressing questions: how might the definition of home be changing? What constitutes hope? And crucially\, how do these separate concepts reinforce one another? \nThe exhibition includes contributions by 30 visual artists\, including: Andreas Kalli\, Armen Ter-Mkrtchyan\, Aukje Dekker with SEXYLAND\, Benji Boyadgian\, Danae Stratou\, Cengiz Bodur\, Droog x KesselsKramer\, George Stamenov\, Gohar Martirosyan\, Guy Ben-Ner\, HovHar\, Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige\, Maria Touloupou\, Melanie Bonajo\, Neo Matloga\, Olgaç Bozalp\, Pet Liger\, Raida Adon\, Rosana Palazyan\, Selma Selman\, Silvina Der-Meguerditchian\, Slavs and Tatars\, Sunny Dolat\, Tal Shochat\, Tania El Khoury\, Turan Aksoy\, Vyacheslav-Yura Useinov\, World Citizen Government and Yves Sambu. \nHome in this exhibition is not merely a physical space\, but an emotional\, cultural\, and sometimes virtual territory. It can be a refuge\, a distant dream\, an origin story\, or even an illusion. It’s often a place we go to find solace. In a globalised world\, our sense of home is fluid\, elusive and rich with potential. The HOME/HOPE exhibition spotlights new modes of (co)existence – and the boundless imagination that unites us\, wherever we may be.  \nSpecial performances in the exhibition space. Aukje Dekker and the SEXYLAND Collective will perform The Sea by Night (14-15 October)\, while Raida Adon will perform during the opening (14 October). Tania El Khoury’s performance – As Far As My Fingertips Take Me takes place on the weekend of 14-15 October.  \nSupport\nThe exhibition is supported by the Larnaca Biennale\, Foundation Brave New Works\, Ministry of Education\, Science Culture and Sport of the Republic of Armenia\, Embassy of Armenia to Cyprus\, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Philippossian & Pilossian Foundation\, ART For the World\, Armenian Arts Council in Yerevan and EMST  National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens (ΕΜΣΤ). \nOfficial Website

SUMMARY:The Bricks of Your Home
DESCRIPTION:In the history of mankind\, every age and every culture has been celebrated around the “table”.  \nFrom the early Greek and Medieval celebrations\, up to our recent history\, the act of eating surpasses that of consuming\, wherein the meal itself becomes the medium through which the human and other-than-human\, the synthetic and the natural\, come together in one plate. \nSalt is present in every culture\, sparking every conversation\, bursting every emotion\, but most importantly is part of every one of us both bodily and spiritually. This performative dinner aims to invite the guests to discover the presence of salt around them\, within them and among them through the most routed act of housekeeping\, that of eating together. \nThe bricks of your home aims to explore and highlight the importance of salt as a primary and necessary element\, metaphorically connecting it with everyone’s food culture in order to narrate the direct link between the act of eating and home: nowadays living abroad is common for the younger generations for which the practice of preparing food represents a way of being Home away from Home. The event will be orchestrated around a series of special plates located directly on a set plane\, creating a surreal landscape\, and the guest will eat using the bricks as supports for the food. \nExact location will be revealed upon booking. \nThe Team: PLEISURE (Francesca Lantieri\, Valentina Fantini)\, Kyriacos Christofides\, Francesca Mussi\, John Mirabel \n  \nGET YOUR TICKETS

SUMMARY:The Bricks of Your Home
DESCRIPTION:In the history of mankind\, every age and every culture has been celebrated around the “table”.  \nFrom the early Greek and Medieval celebrations\, up to our recent history\, the act of eating surpasses that of consuming\, wherein the meal itself becomes the medium through which the human and other-than-human\, the synthetic and the natural\, come together in one plate. \nSalt is present in every culture\, sparking every conversation\, bursting every emotion\, but most importantly is part of every one of us both bodily and spiritually. This performative dinner aims to invite the guests to discover the presence of salt around them\, within them and among them through the most routed act of housekeeping\, that of eating together. \nThe bricks of your home aims to explore and highlight the importance of salt as a primary and necessary element\, metaphorically connecting it with everyone’s food culture in order to narrate the direct link between the act of eating and home: nowadays living abroad is common for the younger generations for which the practice of preparing food represents a way of being Home away from Home. The event will be orchestrated around a series of special plates located directly on a set plane\, creating a surreal landscape\, and the guest will eat using the bricks as supports for the food. \nExact location will be revealed upon booking. \nThe Team: PLEISURE (Francesca Lantieri\, Valentina Fantini)\, Kyriacos Christofides\, Francesca Mussi\, John Mirabel \n  \nGET YOUR TICKETS

SUMMARY:To The Sea With Her Names
DESCRIPTION:Mixed Media Exhibition: A group show by six Asian Artists \n“A name could be signified by a memory and in turn prompt a story\, it can compose identity\, or conjure character. This project’s aim is a group exhibition\, in a common site in Cyprus\, but also a name that has existed for hundreds of years\, thinking about the possibilities of resonating with foreign perspectives.\nArtists from diverse backgrounds will engage with local communities and look beyond borders. The artists not only work in local contexts\, but also trying to reply to the contemporary dilemmas common to the global.\nArtworks begin from the relationships developed in Cyprus\, exploring various dimensions like the role of the sea\, geopolitics\, historical diversity\, local industry\, and traditional crafts. From the artist’s memories and experiences in his own social relationships\, he summons different stories.\nThese stories look at the relationships and tensions hidden by the grand narrative\, such as the emotions erased by history\, the time lost in the wear\, the determination to preserve life in the conflicts and Political wrangling\, and so on. They are ambiguous\, irrelevant to directivity\, but discordant sounds\, ubiquitous\, and real\, mixed.\nThe repeated waves are like the cancellation and return of history\, and we hope to add diverse faces to the ocean of history through the flexibility and imagination characteristic of art.” – Shaoan Huang

SUMMARY:Home/ Hope
DESCRIPTION:International Guest Artists Exhibition. Part of the Parallel Events Program of Larnaca Biennale 2023. \nVisiting hours until November 24th\nMonday Closed\nTuesday – Friday 12:00 – 20:00\nSaturday – Sunday 10:00 – 20:00 \nHOME/HOPE is a capsule exhibition centred on notions of belonging\, identity and our dreams for the future at the Larnaca Biennale in Cyprus. Curated by Yev Kravt\, this exhibition features 30 guest artists\, all exploring the intricate theme of “home” from diverse perspectives. \nJust a single letter differentiates home from hope; but does the notion of home exist without hope\, and can hope truly surface without a place to call home? The subject of belonging opens up a myriad of stories\, told in a multitude of ways. Home is a world we create\, where we can unapologetically be ourselves. Hope\, meanwhile\, speaks to a world set free\, brimming with possibilities. Whether our aspirations are personal or collectively shared\, our inherent ambition to strive forward and evolve ushers in visions of a brighter tomorrow. \nHOME/HOPE explores these intertwined notions\, telling tales through the works of 30 selected artists. The exhibition takes cues from several pressing questions: how might the definition of home be changing? What constitutes hope? And crucially\, how do these separate concepts reinforce one another? \nThe exhibition includes contributions by 30 visual artists\, including: Andreas Kalli\, Armen Ter-Mkrtchyan\, Aukje Dekker with SEXYLAND\, Benji Boyadgian\, Danae Stratou\, Cengiz Bodur\, Droog x KesselsKramer\, George Stamenov\, Gohar Martirosyan\, Guy Ben-Ner\, HovHar\, Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige\, Maria Touloupou\, Melanie Bonajo\, Neo Matloga\, Olgaç Bozalp\, Pet Liger\, Raida Adon\, Rosana Palazyan\, Selma Selman\, Silvina Der-Meguerditchian\, Slavs and Tatars\, Sunny Dolat\, Tal Shochat\, Tania El Khoury\, Turan Aksoy\, Vyacheslav-Yura Useinov\, World Citizen Government and Yves Sambu. \nHome in this exhibition is not merely a physical space\, but an emotional\, cultural\, and sometimes virtual territory. It can be a refuge\, a distant dream\, an origin story\, or even an illusion. It’s often a place we go to find solace. In a globalised world\, our sense of home is fluid\, elusive and rich with potential. The HOME/HOPE exhibition spotlights new modes of (co)existence – and the boundless imagination that unites us\, wherever we may be.  \nSpecial performances in the exhibition space. Aukje Dekker and the SEXYLAND Collective will perform The Sea by Night (14-15 October)\, while Raida Adon will perform during the opening (14 October).

SUMMARY:Threads On Home
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Series: exploring diverse perspectives on the concept of ‘Home’. \nGuest Speakers invited by Yev Kravt. \n“Threads on Home” is a lecture series that is part of Larnaca Biennale 2023\, centered around the theme ‘Home Away From Home.’ This series takes place every Tuesday at 19:00 in the Living Room at Lazarus Square in Larnaca. Each week\, we delve into different themes over five weeks\, featuring five unique speakers. We kick off with Psychology\, followed by Environment\, Architecture and Design\, Philosophy\, and Space and Technology. Each week\, a different topic and lecturer explore the concept of ‘home’ from different perspectives\, concluding with a Q&A session. Attending is free\, just let us know that you are coming by RSVP? \nWeek 1: Psychology\nWe start with guest speaker\, Dr. Christakis Peristianis\, who boasts an interdisciplinary background merging sociology\, social/cultural history\, and human geography. Over the past seven years\, he has dedicated his research to the concept of ‘Home.’ His PhD work\, “Legacies of Displacement: The memories and meanings of home among a Greek Cypriot family\,” delves into what occurs when home vanishes\, leaving only memories.  \nWeek 2: Environment\nIt’s easy to forget that our primal home once thrived within the natural world\, deeply embedded within the environment. Dr. Maria Hadjimichael explores the ‘home’ theme from an environmental perspective. She is an interdisciplinary scientist in the field of marine and coastal governance\, with extensive academic and research experience.

SUMMARY:Home/ Hope
DESCRIPTION:International Guest Artists Exhibition. Part of the Parallel Events Program of Larnaca Biennale 2023. \nVisiting hours until November 24th\nMonday Closed\nTuesday – Friday 12:00 – 20:00\nSaturday – Sunday 10:00 – 20:00 \nHOME/HOPE is a capsule exhibition centred on notions of belonging\, identity and our dreams for the future at the Larnaca Biennale in Cyprus. Curated by Yev Kravt\, this exhibition features 30 guest artists\, all exploring the intricate theme of “home” from diverse perspectives. \nJust a single letter differentiates home from hope; but does the notion of home exist without hope\, and can hope truly surface without a place to call home? The subject of belonging opens up a myriad of stories\, told in a multitude of ways. Home is a world we create\, where we can unapologetically be ourselves. Hope\, meanwhile\, speaks to a world set free\, brimming with possibilities. Whether our aspirations are personal or collectively shared\, our inherent ambition to strive forward and evolve ushers in visions of a brighter tomorrow. \nHOME/HOPE explores these intertwined notions\, telling tales through the works of 30 selected artists. The exhibition takes cues from several pressing questions: how might the definition of home be changing? What constitutes hope? And crucially\, how do these separate concepts reinforce one another? \nThe exhibition includes contributions by 30 visual artists\, including: Andreas Kalli\, Armen Ter-Mkrtchyan\, Aukje Dekker with SEXYLAND\, Benji Boyadgian\, Danae Stratou\, Cengiz Bodur\, Droog x KesselsKramer\, George Stamenov\, Gohar Martirosyan\, Guy Ben-Ner\, HovHar\, Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige\, Maria Touloupou\, Melanie Bonajo\, Neo Matloga\, Olgaç Bozalp\, Pet Liger\, Raida Adon\, Rosana Palazyan\, Selma Selman\, Silvina Der-Meguerditchian\, Slavs and Tatars\, Sunny Dolat\, Tal Shochat\, Tania El Khoury\, Turan Aksoy\, Vyacheslav-Yura Useinov\, World Citizen Government and Yves Sambu. \nHome in this exhibition is not merely a physical space\, but an emotional\, cultural\, and sometimes virtual territory. It can be a refuge\, a distant dream\, an origin story\, or even an illusion. It’s often a place we go to find solace. In a globalised world\, our sense of home is fluid\, elusive and rich with potential. The HOME/HOPE exhibition spotlights new modes of (co)existence – and the boundless imagination that unites us\, wherever we may be.  \nSpecial performances in the exhibition space. Aukje Dekker and the SEXYLAND Collective will perform The Sea by Night (14-15 October)\, while Raida Adon will perform during the opening (14 October). Tania El Khoury’s performance – As Far As My Fingertips Take Me takes place on the weekend of 14-15 October.  \nSupport\nThe exhibition is supported by the Larnaca Biennale\, Foundation Brave New Works\, Ministry of Education\, Science Culture and Sport of the Republic of Armenia\, Embassy of Armenia to Cyprus\, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Philippossian & Pilossian Foundation\, ART For the World\, Armenian Arts Council in Yerevan and EMST  National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens (ΕΜΣΤ). \nOfficial Website
