Fluid Persistence Exhibition Explores Water as a Central Theme in Cypriot Art

The "Fluid Persistence" exhibition at the Nicosia Municipal Arts Centre showcases works by Cypriot artists exploring water as a central theme. The exhibition is part of a broader international discussion on fluidity, memory, and the relationships connected to water, while also highlighting conflicts and inequalities in access to it. Water is approached not as a simple metaphor, but as an element shaped by political decisions, technologies, and historical conditions. The exhibition lays the foundations for new narrative infrastructures that examine the interdependence of humans and nature, as well as issues of social and environmental justice, presenting works that highlight the control and distribution of water.
