We're delighted to announce the four artists from Cyprus selected to take part in Contested Desires: Constructed Dialogues.
Congratulations to Emiddio Vasquez and Sümer Erek taking part with D6:EU, and to Andreas Mallouris and Nicolas Kyrillou taking part with our partner Xarkis
They join twenty artists from around the world to delve into the complexities of Europe’s colonial legacy. From Italy to Ghana, Tunisia to Chile, CDCD sets out to discover the connections between our past and present, fostering dialogue and understanding across diverse perspectives.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who applied to CDCD. The selection process was highly competitive, and we were inspired by the depth and breadth of artistic perspectives showcased in the applications.
Over the next three years, the artists will explore the themes of the programme through research and practice across international residencies, exhibitions and knowledge exchange.
Funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union, the programme consists of 19 global partners aiming to unravel the influence of our shared colonial past on cultural identities today.
