Cyprus Poster Triennial 2
The international Cyprus Poster Triennial (CPT) is to be a nonprofit institution that aims to promote and disseminate knowledge and creativity in the field of graphic design by focusing on the poster as a major medium of visual communication. From the early printing of broadsides in the beginning of the 19th century to the present day of the digital era, posters have been influential not only as vehicles that provide information but also as tools responsible for social change, developing awareness on crucial issues, dissemination of revolutionary or political ideas and propaganda.
Buffer Fringe: The Town Crier
A series of paradox sentences depicted through typography, photography and digital fabrication, emphasizing on displaced letters, misplaced words and replaced objects, in a way in which they create new meanings. Project done with Eva Korae for Buffer Fringe Festival 2020.

RE-COLLECTING COLLECTIONS AND RE-INDEXING NARRATIVES
Graphic Design, as a professional field, is arguably a young discipline. The commercial trade of the 18th and 19th centuries, the labeling of conflicts and wars, political agendas and propaganda formed this new visual language into projects that were archived and exhibited, stories that were printed and disseminated, courses that were taught and studied. Graphic Design history is based on popularity, personal preference/taste, predefined agendas and the social status of the people that have written and rewritten about it—returning to the same standardized canons over and over again. A selection of figures and collective movements that have impacted the evolution and history of the modern design world.

Topography of Memory
A collaboration project with Theopisti Stylianou-Lambert. We are exploring the structure and topography of our own personal photographs under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). A beam microscope that translates signals into images, filled with information about the photograph’s surface topography and composition.
Red Soil
Red Soil is a photographic book by Silvio Augusto Rusmigo, highlights the illegal killing of migratory birds in Cyprus by engaging in a post-mortem inquiry into the story of these birds’ unfortunate ending. Part of it is told through what remains of them: the confiscated trapping paraphernalia that point to their capture and the artificial landscapes that lured them into an ephemeral home. The descriptions provided within these pages and the hidden sounds embedded in the book add to this inquiry by drawing on the nostalgic, extinction-inferring note of such scientific accounts.

Scrambler Vol.2
It’s April and we’re celebrating the second official launch of Fortino Samano’s seminal first book of Cypriot poems and we still don’t really know who the man is. Since the first launch several new “facts” have emerged, however. Here is what we now know. Samano’s book Scrambler was published by indie book juggernaut OWK Press, run and operated by former WWF fixer and one-time llama farmer Omiros Panayides.The launch is happening in Limassol on 21 April, 2018 at a place called Tapper, a disco bar whose dress code has been described as “anything goes as long as you’re wearing spandex and are toting a lion cub”.
