The Art of Making

Three years after the documentary exhibition The Art of Making, which was presented at and supported by the Goethe-Institut Cyprus and illuminated the lives, motivations, and struggles of 20 craftspeople in Germany and Cyprus, an open lecture will revisit its themes and explore how the craft landscape has evolved since. The lecture will focus on personal stories of craftspeople in the exhibition, examine Germany’s current craft education system, and reflect on whether craft today serves society, or has turned into a romanticized tradition. A subsequent panel will turn the focus to Cyprus, addressing the challenges, opportunities, and social status of craftspeople within its contemporary Cypriot context.



Participants of Panel Discussion:

– Coordination: Achilleas Kentonis, Managing Director ARTos House

– Mrs Andrea Charalambides
