I enjoyed this. The exhibition was so ambient that I could feel it lift or maybe introduce a curse, or neutralise my writer's instinct to see the text first. I walked through a landscape of concrete and displaced stone, focusing on my senses, amidst and in reflection of my relationship with the Nicosia art-scene, and… Continue reading quick notes on “Here’s to my sweet Satan” (Eramian, Volks 2016) [edited]

not a review of Genders & Power 2016
I write in English out of habit, and I'm thinking that the festival was wonderfully flexible linguistically, and I think this speaks of its character in other ways as well. It was impossible to agree with all of the things discussed, or the angles with which everything was put, but differences came up alluringly, and… Continue reading not a review of Genders & Power 2016
Something to discuss at some point
Ευάγγελος Λοϊζίδης: ΜΕΡΙΚΑ ΘΕΜΑΤΑ ΥΓΕΙΑΣ
Κάθε λίγο και λιγάκι δημοσιεύεται η κατάρρευση του δημόσιου συστήματος υγείας, η κατάρρευση του τάδε νοσοκομείου ή υπηρεσίας, οι μακρές λίστες ασθενών, η αυτονόμηση νοσοκομείων, η συνεχώς αναβαλλόμενη εφαρμογή του Γενικού Σχεδίου Υγείας (ΓεΣΥ). Όλα τούτα τα δημοσιεύματα, εδώ, θα προσπαθήσουμε να εξηγήσουμε ότι αποτελούν επιφανειακή αντιμετώπιση πολλών καταστάσεων στον τομέα της Υγείας. Θα κοιτάξουμε… Continue reading Ευάγγελος Λοϊζίδης: ΜΕΡΙΚΑ ΘΕΜΑΤΑ ΥΓΕΙΑΣ
10 minutes & the 3rd International Summer School in Peace Studies: on Sovereignty, Conflict, and the Commons
aim: evocative & complex rather than coherent background: - from memorial politics in public space to the arts & peace economy [funding structures and labour conditions contained in the product] - from bi-communalism, to conflict resolution, to reconciliation, to conflict transformation, to addressing social segregation (link to Evi): the peace economy & the construction of… Continue reading 10 minutes & the 3rd International Summer School in Peace Studies: on Sovereignty, Conflict, and the Commons

the collar, the map, and the Green Line
Sylvat took this photo on a visit to what I call my village. For me the kick is in the easiness of Theodora’s gaze, unlike mine, and the balance between her desire and her contentment with the possibility of just roaming this landscape, performing basic physical functions as need be. The red of her collar… Continue reading the collar, the map, and the Green Line

on the Cyprus side of #opicarus pt.1 / what is / is there an #opicarus?
Reported anonymous target the Central Bank of Cyprus website with DDoS attacks on 5/5/2016, resulting in 35 minutes of downtime (steps towards confirmation). There are reports that the event, (also) reportedly part of #opicarus, was easily recovered from, and targeted only the website rather than the Bank's systems. None of this has been reported on… Continue reading on the Cyprus side of #opicarus pt.1 / what is / is there an #opicarus?
politics of memory in Cyprus / on talking about one’s work
This Saturday I respond to the most relevant local invitation for my academic work so far, and despite a little bit of pomp, I’m glad for it, especially at this moment in time, with the different kinds of extremism / danger solidifying around the place. It makes sense that these days there would be increased… Continue reading politics of memory in Cyprus / on talking about one’s work
