Exploring History Through the Cyprus Insula Exhibition
As part of the Cyprus Insula exhibition series, the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation is hosting an interactive and engaging workshop titled A Day at Nicosia Airport. This event, scheduled for Saturday, November 30, will take place in both Greek and English, inviting participants to uncover the historical and cultural significance of the once-bustling Nicosia International Airport.
Step Back in Time: A Digital Reconstruction of the Airport
The workshop will run from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM and offers a fascinating opportunity to experience an immersive digital recreation of the now-inaccessible Nicosia International Airport. Through this interactive experience, attendees will delve into the airport’s role in the modernization of the Republic of Cyprus during its early years.
The event also highlights the architectural innovation of this iconic structure, which has remained abandoned for decades. By blending technology and history, the workshop aims to shed light on the airport’s impact on Cypriot society and its legacy as a groundbreaking piece of infrastructure.
Interactive Participation: Share Memories and Stories
Participants will not only explore the airport virtually but will also have the chance to examine rare archival materials and share their personal stories or memories of the site. The organizers emphasize the importance of community involvement, stating, “Your stories and insights will help us preserve the airport’s legacy and document its influence on Cyprus’ journey toward modernity.”
