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), as part of the official parallel events of Larnaca Biennale 2025.
The project is curated by interdisciplinary designer Konstantinos Charilaou, while the workshop will be led by Weaving Urban Artist Iphigenia Papageorgiou, who will guide participants through a collective, textile-based process of connection and creative collaboration.
🟡WORKSHOP DETAILS
Participants are invited to bring a personal or recycled piece of fabric, which will be woven into a large-scale collective artwork (h200cm x w150cm) using a metal fence structure (tellie). Through this act, stories, textures, and memories will be interlaced, a symbolic gesture of unity and reconciliation.
Each selected participant will be acknowledged as a co-creator and contributor to the final artwork. The piece will be presented publicly during the event and later exhibited in Zouhouri Square as part of the official exhibition of Larnaca Biennale 2025.
The workshop will be facilitated by artist Iphigenia Papageorgiou, in collaboration with curator Konstantinos Charilaou.
Participation includes free entry to the Social Event / Party on October 26.
Applications are open exclusively to Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots. Spots are limited and participants will be selected to ensure equal representation: Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots.
