“Yes, I Can”: Exhibition Honoring Cypriot Paralympians Moves to Limassol
Fifteen Stories of Courage and Determination Come to Life at the Molos, Sending a Powerful Message Against Exclusion.
The photography exhibition “Yes, I Can” has moved from Larnaca Airport to the Molos in Limassol, presenting powerful stories of strength, inclusion, and diversity through the journeys of fifteen Cypriot Paralympians. The exhibition is part of a social campaign launched by the Kateryna Biloruska Foundation with the strategic support of the Cyprus Paralympic Committee.
According to a statement by the Foundation, during the exhibition’s opening ceremony, the Mayor of Limassol, Yiannis Armeftis, noted that the stories presented remind us that sport is not only about competition, but also about courage, determination, and the strength to overcome obstacles.
“This is not only an exhibition of impressive photographs, but also a reminder of the importance of creating a truly accessible and inclusive city for everyone,” he said, expressing pride that Limassol can host and support such an important initiative.
Andreas Georgiou, President of the Cyprus Paralympic Committee, said that the collaboration with the Kateryna Biloruska Foundation “gives us the opportunity to highlight the human side of professional Paralympic sport, the determination, the sweat, and the triumph.” He added that hosting the exhibition in Limassol helps break down social barriers and invites every citizen to celebrate the strength of the Cypriot Paralympic spirit.
The founder of the Foundation, Kateryna Biloruska, said that the phrase “Yes, I Can” is a declaration of courage and a reminder that every challenge can be transformed into an opportunity. Through these portraits, she explained, “we celebrate human dignity and the universal language of sport. We want every person, regardless of the challenges they face, to see these stories and say with confidence: Yes, I can.”
The statement also notes that the visual storytelling of the exhibition was captured by Michalis Antoniou and Giorgos Charalambous, whose work highlights the aesthetics of strength and the emotion behind each athlete’s journey.
The exhibition is open to the public at the Molos area, where visitors are encouraged to interact with the stories, share their favorite portraits on social media using the hashtag #YesICan, and take part in the movement for a Cyprus without exclusion.
