Bridging Ethnic Divides Through Creative Workshops
“Working together artistically unites people. It breaks down barriers and brings out the positive side of human nature. A finished art work which stands as living proof of this collaboration is a ‘gift’ with a message to us all.”
- Athena Ierodiaconou Van Dongen
OUR VISION
To bring people together, young and old, from the multiple ethnic communities in Cyprus and offer them the chance to learn about each others backgrounds.
To make people aware of the multiple ethnic backgrounds in Cyprus whilst offering them the tools through which they can understand and respect each others differences.
To enable them to find and celebrate a common Cypriot identity.
UNEARTHING is open to people of all ages; offering work- shops within schools and in pop-up venues for young and mature adults on both sides of the divide. It consists of 4 workshops using 3D, 2D techniques as well as language providing the opportunity to work together, ask questions, listen, talk, understand and create whilst exploring the issues around Identity & Diversity.
