\n

As part of the Xarkis Festival 2022, I spent a two-week artist residency in Agros, a small mountain village in the Greek part of Cyprus, and created a mural in which past, present, and future merge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What memories does this place bring back to you and what do you hope for the future? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Those are the questions I asked the people of Agros. Together we collected places that brought back memories or inspired imaginations of the future. To do this, they accompanied me on perceptual walks or I conducted interviews with them. The fight against the British Empire, Greek nationalism, the first snow and Nearchos Clerides, the founder of the rose factory who made Agros known for the cultivation and processing of organic damask roses, were just a few elements around which the stories revolved. <\/p>\n\n\n
