Açıklama

This Walk-to-Write Experience is a literary psychogeography walk that aims to initiate a dialogue with the literatures of Cyprus through Nicosia’s literary landmarks, while also exploring the concept of atopy within the city.

It invites participants to explore the concept of “atopy” – things that are out of place or unusual – within the context of the literatures of Cyprus (Cypriot literature or literature on Cyprus).

Starting at a landmark in Nicosia, we’ll journey through the city, observing and documenting instances of atopy while drawing inspiration from literary texts. Through a series of stops, participants will weave together their observations with quotes, finishing the literary journey by creating a creative piece or critical commentary.
