Art and Activism in Nicosia: Buffer Fringe 2026

A Buffer Fringe Walk on Art and Activism

by Demetra Ignatiou and Melek Kaptanoğlu

The Home for Cooperation’s Nicosia walks, organized with the Association for Historical Dialogue and Research, are a meaningful shared experience for those who wish to explore Nicosia through a different lens, often discovering aspects of our city that may not always be visible. This walk, co-curated by Demetra and Melek, explores art, cultural production, identity, and the reclaiming of public space across the divide in Nicosia’s urban space.

WHEN: Friday 2nd of October 2026, 16:00-18:00

WHERE: We meet at the Home for Cooperation and walk together, across the divide. The walk concludes at CYENS Centre of Excellence, where the first Festival performance begins!

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW:

– Participation is free but registration is necessary

– Spots are very limited so register on time!

– A valid ID/passport is required to attend the walk (we will be crossing the UN buffer zone)

– The walk will be in English
