Efi Savvides

Efi is a visual artist and art educator. Her work examines conditions of violence and exclusion experienced by minority groups, people who are migrants and refugees in Cyprus.

By engaging in long-term relationships and interactions with affected individuals, families, and communities, Efi has produced a compelling body of work drawn from her own committed photographic practice.

Efi is one of the artists taking part in Imagining Home. She presents new and previously unseen photography and video work from her extensive documentation of a single refugee family. This work offers personal insights into the diverse ways of creating a home, in this case Narin and her sisters. It is part of her larger project, which documents refugee families living in Richmond Village, an abandoned housing estate within the British military base of Dhekelia.

Efi is the founder of Artstudio Laboratories, an art education centre operating in Nicosia since 1985.
