Celebrating Refugees Through Art
On Thursday, the CVAR Severis Foundation in Nicosia hosts the inauguration of “Our Imprints: Drawings by Unaccompanied Syrian Children in Cyprus.” Organized by UNHCR Cyprus and METAdrasi, this exhibition marks World Refugee Day and showcases artwork created during art workshops held in Paphos. These poignant pieces by asylum-seeking children will be on display until June 28, offering a unique perspective on their experiences.
Musical Journey Through Time
Friday night at Axiothea Mansion in Nicosia, the 27th Cultural Festival of the University of Cyprus presents “The Tale of the Lute.” This performance blends European Medieval, Persian, Greek, Turkish, and Arabic musical traditions, highlighting the lute’s historical significance. Three talented musicians will enchant the audience with this rich cultural tapestry.
World Music Day Extravaganza
Friday also marks World Music Day, celebrated across Cyprus with free performances. In Nicosia, the Make Music Cyprus Festival transforms 14 locations into musical hubs, while Limassol’s historic center hosts a dozen performances under the Fête de la Musique Limassol banner. Technopolis 20 in Paphos joins in with the Gaba Project performance, ensuring that music echoes through the island’s streets from evening into the night.
