Weaving Unity: Showcase Event / Celebration - LB4 Parallel Event

{GR and TR text follow}

A bicommunal artistic gesture of reconciliation, collective creation, and reweaving through art.

“There is a line, and then there is what lies beyond it. Some lines divide. Others connect. What if we could choose which one?”

Weaving Unity is a two-day bicommunal art project that brings together Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots through a symbolic weaving workshop (25/10/2025) and an open artistic celebration (26/10/2025).

🟠 SHOWCASE EVENT & CELEBRATION 🟠

On October 26th, the general public is invited to view the artwork created during the one-day bicommunal workshop, meet the participants, and join an artistic celebration featuring visual mapping, visual art, music, live performance, and the first-ever architectural projection on a historical building in Larnaca.

The project is curated by interdisciplinary designer Konstantinos Charilaou.

The space comes alive with soundscapes (by artists/musicians Alejjos, Vanesha, and Nicholas Loizou), live Ney (musician Vassilis Philippou), bilingual performance (performer Tahini Molasses), and visual projections (by Cyprus Surreal & Charizart), transforming the space into a shared, pulsing rhythm of togetherness.

The building façade will feature Larnacas’ first full architectural mapping as part of the artistic narrative.

Μια δικοινοτική καλλιτεχνική χειρονομία συμφιλίωσης, συλλογικής δημιουργίας και επανασύνδεσης μέσα από την τέχνη.

«Υπάρχει μια γραμμή, και μετά υπάρχει αυτό που βρίσκεται πέρα από αυτή. Κάποιες γραμμές χωρίζουν. Άλλες ενώνουν. Τι θα γινόταν αν μπορούσαμε να επιλέξουμε εμείς τη δική μας;»

Το Weaving Unity είναι ένα διήμερο δικοινοτικό καλλιτεχνικό project που φέρνει κοντά Ελληνοκύπριους και Τουρκοκύπριους μέσα από ένα συμβολικό εργαστήριο ύφανσης (25/10/2025) και μια ανοιχτή καλλιτεχνική γιορτή (26/10/2025).

🟠 ΠΑΡΟΥΣΙΑΣΗ & ΓΙΟΡΤΗ

Στις 26 Οκτωβρίου, το κοινό καλείται να δει το έργο που θα δημιουργηθεί κατά τη διάρκεια του μονοήμερου δικοινοτικού εργαστηρίου, να γνωρίσει τους συμμετέχοντες και να συμμετάσχει σε μια καλλιτεχνική γιορτή με visual mapping, εικαστικές παρεμβάσεις, μουσική, ζωντανές performances και την πρώτη αρχιτεκτονική προβολή σε ιστορικό κτήριο της Λάρνακας.

Την καλλιτεχνική επιμέλεια υπογράφει ο διεπιστημονικός σχεδιαστής Κωνσταντίνος Χαριλάου.

Ο χώρος θα ζωντανέψει με ήχο (από τους καλλιτέχνες / μουσικούς Alejjos, Vanesha και Nicholas Loizou), ζωντανή εκτέλεση Ney (μουσικός Βασίλης Φιλίππου), δίγλωσση performance (performer Tahini Molasses) και εικαστικές προβολές (από Cyprus Surreal & Charizart), μετατρέποντας τον χώρο σε έναν κοινόχρηστο, παλλόμενο ρυθμό συνύπαρξης.

Η πρόσοψη του κτηρίου θα φιλοξενήσει το πρώτο πλήρες αρχιτεκτονικό mapping στην Λάρνακα ως μέρος της καλλιτεχνικής αφήγησης.

İki toplumlu bir sanatsal uzlaşı, kolektif üretim ve sanat aracılığıyla yeniden bağ kurmaya doğru bir adım.

“Bir çizgi vardır, bir de onun ötesinde olan. Bazı çizgiler ayırır. Bazıları ise birleştirir. Peki ya hangisini seçeceğimize biz karar verebilseydik?”

Weaving Unity, Kıbrıslı Rumlar ile Kıbrıslı Türkleri bir araya getiren iki günlük bir iki toplumlu sanat projesidir. Proje, sembolik bir dokuma atölyesi (25/10/2025) ve açık bir sanatsal kutlamadan (26/10/2025) oluşmaktadır.

🟠 SUNUM & KUTLAMA

26 Ekim’de, halka açık olarak atölye sırasında üretilen eser sergilenecek, katılımcılarla tanışma fırsatı sunulacak ve görsel mapping, görsel sanat, müzik, canlı performanslar ve Larnaka’daki tarihi bir binada gerçekleşecek ilk mimari projeksiyon ile zenginleşmiş sanatsal bir kutlama düzenlenecektir.

Projenin küratörlüğünü disiplinlerarası tasarımcı Konstantinos Charilaou üstlenmektedir.

Mekân, ses manzaraları (sanatçılar / müzisyenler Alejjos, Vanesha ve Nicholas Loizou), canlı Ney icrası (Vassilis Philippou), iki dilli performans (Tahini Molasses) ve görsel projeksiyonlarla (Cyprus Surreal & Charizart) canlanacak; alan ortak, titreşimli bir birlik ritmine dönüşecektir.

Binanın cephesi, sanatsal anlatının bir parçası olarak Larnacas’ın ilk tam ölçekli mimari mapping uygulamasına ev sahipliği yapacaktır.
