Anaïs LLobet
French author, documentary filmmaker and AFP journalist, Anaïs has lived in Cyprus for five years. She is one the artists taking part in Imagining Home – a multi-communal art exhibition presented in the Nicosia Buffer Zone exploring the idea of identity and home.
Anaïs is part of the Collectif Habitante, a group dedicated to developing projects around the theme of the human relationship to the house.
For Imagining Home, Anaïs conducted a series of interviews both with people who are refugees and with the UNFICYP peacekeepers, developing a collaborative work on what making home far away from home means. The writer contributes new texts that highlight the role of UNFICYP veterans as caretakers and custodians for thousands of people’s houses who at the same time, find their own way of building a collective temporary home while caring for people’s lost houses in the buffer zone.
Anaïs’ novel based on the historical context of Cyprus in 2022, entitled Au café de la ville perdue, was among the winners of the Mare Nostrum Awards 2022.
