🎙️I will be speaking with Nicos Philippou about how particular ways of representing the Cypriot landscape and the people of the island have persisted through time and their links to the colonial gaze and romantic (Greek) nationalism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.🎙️

🏛️As a bonus, we'll be walking through Act 2 of the exhibition with BOCCF Director Yiannis Toumazis. 🥾Thanks to Cyprus Insula curator Ign Dmtreea for making all this happen!

We'll talk space and modernity, nineteenth-century Cypriot visions of economic and social progress, and the links between Cypriot and global histories of modernity, trade and colonialism.🌍

🎙️I will be speaking with fellow bαhçές editor Okcan Yıldırımtürk about a mid-nineteenth century Cypriot project to develop the city of Famagusta and its harbour and transform the town into a commercial hub in the Eastern Mediterranean.
