ASSEMBLE
We're delighted to be co-hosting ASSEMBLE with our sister NGO D6:EU in Cyprus. The programme centres on artistic practice and international exchange in the context of global challenges and inequalities around exile and displacement.
ASSEMBLE brings together an exhibition of artworks and a day of dialogues at the Goethe-Institute in Nicosia focussing on the rights of artists whose practice has been disrupted by forced migration and the role of culture in supporting refugees.
Belonging exhibition
22-24 March, 10:00-20:00
Opening: Thursday 21 March, 18:00-21:00
Exhibition tour and artists in conversation: 23 March, 11:00 – 12:30
Curated by Shirin Zeraaty, Belonging features the work of artists whose practice explores narratives of identity, migration, displacement and gender. The participating artists are: Myriam Dalal, Alia Gargum, Oleksandra Lytvyn, Amak Mahmoodian, Zariq Rosita-Hanif and Efi Savvides. Find out more about the artists on D6:EU's website here.
Dialogues programme
Friday 22 March, 10:00-17:00, Goethe-Institute, Nicosia
The Dialogues create space for knowledge exchange, spanning the professional development of artists, ethics and care to the role of culture in supporting people with lived experience of forced displacement.
This event is for any individual or organisation who advocates for art and culture, or works in the field of supporting people whose lives have been disrupted by forced migration, or has an interest in both.
The dialogues will be a chance to learn from international and local perspectives, an opportunity to connect, ask questions and share approaches and challenges faced.
10:00 - 12:00: The role of culture within refugee support NGOs
Guests speakers: Manos Mathioudakis, Cyprus Refugee Council, and Mónica Laiseca, Refugee Festival Scotland - Scottish Refugee Council.
14:00-17:00: Supporting the practice of visual artists and cultural professionals impacted by exile and displacement
Guest speakers: Soizig Carey, Cross Borders (Scotland); Safi Sakran, MedeArts (Jordan), and Ixone Sadaba, Moving Artists (Spain).
Participation is free. Please register for the events you’re interested in here.
