Another Nicosia, Through Words and Images

A new album titled “The Other Nicosia: A City Built with Words and Images” has been released, featuring literary texts and artistic works inspired by the city of Nicosia. The album includes works by 52 creators, 27 writers and poets, and 25 artists, and represents a collective effort to capture Nicosia through art. The collection draws inspiration from the history, memory, and social reality of the city, transforming these experiences into works of literature and art. The creators explore different aspects of Nicosia, from its ancient history to its modern division and the challenges it faces. The album attempts to capture an “other” Nicosia, a city built through aesthetic creation and artistic discourse. This city is an alternative reality, a longing for the real Nicosia, expressed through poems, stories, paintings, and sculptures. The curator of the album emphasizes that “The Other Nicosia” is a city that cannot be known by touch, but springs forth through the works of the creators. It is a city that yearns to take shape and be expressed more fully through art. The album is a charge for the city, an attempt to record its soul through words and images.
