On September 2 at Zouhouri Square, 25 local artists joined forces to present a collective artistic action in the square, combining different forms of creative expression such as participatory and visual arts, interactive games, poetry/music workshops and live music performances.
EVOHK artist-run space presented the group art exhibition ‘'Visual Rhythms' with art works from Stavroula Gregoriou, Christos Drakos, Elpida Matsentidou, Alexander Dadaev, Rona Mikellidou and Eirene Constantinou. Works of painting and sculpture were exhibited in the public space of Zouhouri Square and they were open to the general public. Also, the visual artists Stelios Tzivas and Sebastian Koukkides created the collaborative painting ‘Patterns Unearthed’ combined with a participatory workshop that draw inspiration from the intricate patterns and shapes found within Larnaka's cityscape and its rich archaeological heritage
Children had the opportunity to learn and play the traditional games of our country that are usually revived during local celebrations and festivals through the guidance of the drama educator Theodora Andreou. Also, Irene and Maria Xatzisophokleous lead a music workshop for the young visitors, helping them to explore the magic of different cultures through rhythm and movement.
Having Larnaka as the core theme, participants of the poetry workshop created poems sharing their love for the city, in collaboration with the writer Maria Kouvarou. The workshops closed with a musical improvisation and light projection of live painting through the guidance of the artists Maria Kramvi and Eirene Constantinou.
The night closed with two live concerts by local bands, TafLak and Kontovourkis & Co. Act. The event was organized by Larnaka 2030 in collaboration with the creative team consisting of Eirene Constantinou, Andreas Georgiou and Maria Kramvi. Artistic direction was undertaken by EVOHK artist-run space.
