VISUAL VOICES (VV) is a non-profit organisation based in Nicosia, Cyprus. Since 2018, we support socially engaged art practices and initiatives in Cyprus and internationally. OUR VISION is to empower artists to tackle urgent environmental and social challenges, creating work with both local impact and transnational resonance. We amplify diverse artistic voices and contribute to a more inclusive, robust and dynamic cultural landscape. Our ultimate ambition is to build a global community of organizations and practitioners who recognize the power of arts-based interventions for societal transformation. OUR MISSION is to create accessible spaces for artistic experimentation, promote multicommunal collaboration, and stimulate public dialogue. Our approach is based on radical participatory practices, and centers on co-creation with artists. We also focus on building interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaborations, connecting artists with community leaders, policymakers, activists, researchers and diverse publics to enhance artistic careers, build new methodologies and create social impact. <img width="5733" height="3822" width_o="5733" height_o="3822"

Looking through media and nationalist narratives. Coming together to speak about it, to present a new outlook through injury, to delve in search of, in the dark, through a photo-flash and a handful of dust thrown on glue or even through two arms unfolding: a new path. Eleven artists from across the island meet here to draw a new trail together, with their hands that have different stories, with their own genesis, with their own family narratives- to a peace -wise and unforgotten. Check out our&nbsp; 360° exhibition and our new online catalogue! ONLINE EXCHANGE: Presence? Conflict? Transformation? South African, Sri Lankan and Cypriot artists come together for online discussion and exchange. With reflections stemming from their different contexts, the conversations were framed around social activism for conflict resolution and transformation.

This second volume of ‘Color the Court’ aims to enhance the role of women in peacebuilding and to empower Cypriot youth to become activists for peace. It combined educational, artistic and sports workshops in a creative approach to peacebuilding. The process relied on collaboration between Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot students to promote community dialogue through innovative activism. The Visual Voices AR App for digital graffiti and storytelling brings together socially engaged art and augmented reality, in a way that promotes user-generated content and powerful stories of peace advocacy. This embraces the idea that socially engaged art coming from communities affected by violent conflict and tackling conflict-related challenges are actually relevant all over the world. For the user, it is a means of reconceptualization. A collaboration between Visual Voices, ITICA Lab, Marina Hassapopoulou, Assistant Professor of Cinema Studies, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University, and socially engaged artists from around the world that address challenges stemming from violent conflict. <img width="1280" height="853" width_o="1280" height_o="853"

CONNECTION- AN OFFICIAL INSIDEOUT COMMUNITY ACTION An artistic community action responding to the division on the island of Cyprus. The division left two halves of a whole with a common past, divided present and what we hope will be a united future. Cypriot based artists bring together these faces, divided by barbed wire, and view them as one. This is the story we want for our future, a story where conflict narratives are turned inside out and thrown away. We want the inside that comes out to be full of peace. The final installation took place on June 11, 2022 with 99 massive portraits now covering walls on both sides of the historic city centre. These faces represent positivity, hope, and the foundation for a peaceful future. This is even more impressive considering the efforts behind it. A group of photographers visited different areas of the island and embraced it’s diversity following the common thread of a shared hope for peace and connection. A massive thank you to our photographers!! Hayal Gezer, Stephanie Lemesianou, Jeremy Coulmance; and to the core team and all our new friends who volunteered so many hours to make this happen! PERSPECTIVE(S)- WIDE ANGLE CONVERSATIONS hosted 6 round tables by the Vaha Nicosia hub. The discussion themes address the ‘crisis of democracy’ by promoting civic dialogue around key social challenges. The round tables consist of experts (academic, artistic, philosophy/theorist). The multidisciplinary approaches on common challenges created space for new voices to be heard and to connect the two worlds of academia and culture. The evolution of the round tables was fully documented and exhibited by a Visual Voices resident artist. <img width="6080" height="3040" width_o="6080" height_o="3040" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/895fdae14ac6846bac3fd1378faf97833325805c41274e5a554ba99a6a3a673d/VAHA-Lamps-Photo.jpg" data-mid="145873792" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/895fdae14ac6846bac3fd1378faf97833325805c41274e5a554ba99a6a3a673d/VAHA-Lamps-Photo.jpg" /> VAHA PHASE II - A collaboration between VAHA Hubs from Belgrade, Mersin, and Nicosia. a ‘Composting for Peace’ metaphorical interpretation for new growth in our society.

PEACE ACTIVISM -ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM follows the core Visual Voices methodology which focuses around young visual artists from communities affected by violent conflict. To support our target group and global peacebuilding efforts, we develop artist in residence programs that incorporate a peace education curriculum. This allows for personal reflection combined with creative expression on the challenges that arise from violent conflict. Young artists taking part in this program will be continually supported through the promotion of non-commercial platforms for expression and a growing network of participating artists committed to positive social change. &nbsp; Check out the&nbsp;Exhibitions and Residencies page or our vimeo for many more videos from our resident artists.&nbsp; &lt;- back to our work contact@visual-voices.org&nbsp;&nbsp; ︎&nbsp; &nbsp; ︎&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;︎&nbsp; &nbsp;︎ https://visual-voices.org/Platforms-of-Expression Mon, 31 May 2021 09:11:59 +0000 VISUAL-VOICES https://visual-voices.org/Platforms-of-Expression <img width="1500" height="800" width_o="1500" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/69adf0dc0b0ffab379ba3381de62ff48f975573ce3289fab1ca0deb69839b42d/VIVO-logo-website-72ppi.png" data-mid="226717234" border="0" data-scale="60" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/69adf0dc0b0ffab379ba3381de62ff48f975573ce3289fab1ca0deb69839b42d/VIVO-logo-website-72ppi.png" /> ABOUT PROJECTS CONNECT PLATFORMS OF EXPRESSION The Visual Voices AR App for digital graffiti and storytelling brings together socially engaged art and augmented reality, in a way that promotes user-generated content and powerful stories of peace advocacy.
