Weaving Unity: Bicommual Art Project at Larnaca Biennale 2025
A Two-Day Celebration of Coexistence Through Weaving, Art, and Music
Weaving Unity is a two-day bicommunal artistic initiative presented as an official parallel event of the Larnaca Biennale 2025. Through a participatory weaving workshop and a large-scale public celebration at the Space for Creation and Culture in the heart of Larnaca, the project symbolically redefines the “Green Line” that divides Cyprus, transforming it into a thread of creativity and coexistence between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots through art and music.
On Saturday, October 25, 2025, participants from both communities will join a weaving workshop with Greek Cypriot urban weaving artist Ifigeneia Papageorgiou and the event curator Konstantinos Charilaou. Together they will co-create a collective artwork, using recycled and personal fabrics woven onto a metal grid. The act of weaving will serve as a central symbolic gesture of reconciliation and shared artistic expression.
📅 Time: 10:00–17:00
📍 Venue: Space for Creation and Culture, Zinonos Kitieos 3, Larnaca
👥 Participation: Open to individuals 18+ from all communities
Showcase Celebration – October 26, 2025
On Sunday, October 26, 2025, the public is invited to a vibrant celebration where the final artwork will be unveiled in a dynamic atmosphere of sound, visuals, movement, and joy.
The event will feature live performances by Turkish Cypriot performer Tahini Molasses, musicians Alejjos, Vanesha, and Nikola Loizou, traditional Ney music by Vasilis Philippou, as well as visual art interventions by Cyprus Surreal and Charizart, including the first-ever projection mapping on both facades of a historic public building in Larnaca.
📅 Time: 18:00–23:00
📍 Venue: Space for Creation and Culture, Zinonos Kitieos 3, Larnaca
👥 Open to: All communities, ages 18+
Public Exhibition at Zouhouri Square
The final artwork will be publicly displayed at Zouhouri Square as part of the official exhibition of the Larnaca Biennale 2025. All workshop participants will be recognized as co-creators and equal artistic contributors.
Curated and produced by Konstantinos Charilaou in collaboration with a diverse team of artists, Weaving Unity is more than an event—it is an act of reconciliation, understanding, and reconnection. It is an invitation to imagine a shared and open future, starting with a single thread.
