On Friday, 2 October 2026, Stes Koroues at Ermou 272 in Nicosia hosts a transdisciplinary arts day that takes on some of the most charged questions of our time: how do borders — drawn on maps, enforced by states, internalised by people — shape the way communities remember, grieve and coexist?
The programme, titled 'Between Here and Then: The Politics of Nostalgia & Geographies of the Border', moves fluidly across disciplines and formats. Screenings sit alongside sound compositions; a live podcast unfolds in real time next to musical performances. The result is less a conventional arts event and more an extended, layered conversation — one that refuses to separate the aesthetic from the political or the personal from the historical.
The choice of Nicosia as the setting is anything but incidental. As one of the world's last divided capitals, the city carries the weight of unresolved borders in its very street plan. Stes Koroues, a venue with a track record of supporting ambitious cultural projects, provides an intimate and fitting frame for a day that asks its audience to sit with complexity rather than reach for easy answers.
Entry is free, opening the event to anyone curious about contemporary art, memory studies, postcolonial thought or simply the experience of living between here and then.
