Following a series of screenings across the UK and a very warm response from audiences, we are delighted to invite you to the London screening of SKAMMATA, the documentary directed by Danae Stylianou and produced by M.P.L.

What do we carry with us when we move from one place to another?

Perhaps it is a language, a photograph, a family story or the memory of a landscape. Perhaps it is a melody, a gesture, an object or a tradition that changes as it passes from one generation to the next.

Our 2027 Cultural Season begins with this question.

✨ CYPRUS 2027 – THE TRACES WE CARRY ✨
Routes • Traces • Horizons

The Cultural Section of the Cyprus High Commission in the United Kingdom is now welcoming proposals for complementary events and creative projects to become part of our 2027 programme.

We invite artists and cultural practitioners to explore the visible and invisible connections between Cyprus, the United Kingdom and the wider world.

Routes may take us through migration, diaspora, displacement, cultural exchange, return and belonging.

Traces may be found in memory, archaeology, archives, language, family histories and the marks left by people and places.

Horizons invite us to look forward—to new creative voices, evolving identities, contemporary practices and unexpected collaborations.

Proposals may take the form of theatre, music, dance, literature, poetry, film, visual or digital art, performance, design or interdisciplinary work. We are interested in thoughtful and achievable ideas that can speak to audiences today, encourage dialogue and bring people together.

Projects must take place in the United Kingdom during 2027 and have a meaningful relationship with Cyprus, its culture, heritage, communities or contemporary creative life.

If something in this theme speaks to your own practice, we would love to hear from you.

📧 Please email [email protected] to arrange a short online conversation before submitting your application. This initial discussion will allow us to hear about your idea and share the relevant application information with you.

📅 Deadline for completed applications: 25 September 2026

The time available is limited, so please contact us soon.

Every journey leaves a trace. Perhaps yours will become part of our 2027 story.

Με βαθιά θλίψη και αγωνία παρακολουθούμε τις εξελίξεις μετά τη βύθιση σκάφους ανοικτά της Κερύνειας.

Η σκέψη μας είναι με όσους έχασαν τη ζωή τους, με τους τραυματίες, με όλους όσοι βιώνουν αυτή την τραγωδία και με τις οικογένειές τους, σε αυτές τις εξαιρετικά δύσκολες ώρες.

Η Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία, από την πρώτη στιγμή, δήλωσε την πλήρη ετοιμότητά της να συνδράμει άμεσα στις προσπάθειες εντοπισμού και διάσωσης, διαθέτοντας κάθε αναγκαίο μέσο.

Σε μια τέτοια στιγμή, η προστασία της ανθρώπινης ζωής βρίσκεται πάνω από όλα.
