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.
