This year, you’ll find work by Michael Mina, Njideka Akunyili Crosby, Michael Armitage, Jade Montserrat, Hew Locke, Rita Keegan and Alvaro Barrington, plus work by self-taught artists such as Frantz Lamothe, Bärbel Lange and Marie-Rose Lortet. That’s on top of an Architecture Room curated by David Adjaye RA, an accompanying sound programme, new works by Phyllida Barlow RA, William Kentridge RA and many more, not to mention brilliant art submitted by members of the public.
All this comes together in an array of art and ideas. It’s the tonic we all need this autumn.

On Arriving
2022-02-10 - 2022-02-11
“How do you decide where to go when you leave home forever? You just decide. And then that is your goal. It’s different from this place, you hope. Safer, you hope. You hope.”
The Cyprus High Commission presents the recording of the one-woman play by Ivan Faute On Arriving. The play explores a young refugee’s fight for survival as her country falls apart before her eyes. This brave, poetic play looks at the human moments of one person’s choice to leave a place they have known their entire life, to set off for something unknown.
Directed by Cat Robey, actress Sophia Eleni performs with deep, personal connection to the story of home and war, her own family having been made refugees when fleeing Cyprus in 1974 after the Turkish invasion.
The play was presented at the CYPRUS HOUSE in September 2021, and was followed by a Q&A with the director and actress, moderated by Dr George Rodosthenous.

Beyond the Blur
2022-03-03 18:30 | Cyprus House, 13 Saint James's Square, London, SW1Y 4LB
The Cyprus High Commission presents the art-photography exhibition by Cypriot fashion photographer Nikolas Louka “Beyond the Blur”.

About this event

Private viewing:
3 MARCH – 6:30pm | CYPRUS HOUSE
13 St. James’s Square, SW1Y 4LB

blur meaning:
·      verb: make or become unclear or less distinct
·      noun: a thing that cannot be seen or heard clearly
Nikolas Louka’s show at the Cyprus High Commission, Beyond the Blur, repurposes a broad spectrum of photographs taken during the photographer’s decade-long career in fashion, portrait, theatre and commercial photography. The exhibition invites us to revisit the art of photography, to look, indeed, beyond the “blur” of the medium’s artifice, facilitated through lens manipulation, heavy makeup, smiles, veils, masks; to look beyond the stillness or movement of the body, and – most importantly for our contemporary Instagram-saturated visual culture – beyond the intense editing of digital technology that has blurred the boundaries between reality and fantasy.
Duration of exhibition:
3 – 23 March | Mon-Fri 10:00-16:00
(book a visit via info@culturalchc.co.uk)

Nikolas Louka (b. Cyprus 1984) is a London based photographer. Nikolas studied photography in Athens, Greece, where he lived and worked before moving to London in 2011. His uncomplicated, raw and dynamic style delivers timeless and arresting photos across a broad spectrum of photography that include fashion, commercial, theatre and portraiture. He has collaborated with the Greek National Theatre, the Greek National Opera, Vogue Greece, Marie Claire, Madame Figaro and has created portraits for major Greek and Cypriot stars. Nikolas is the founder and head of E2studios in east London, producing work for major brands, including British Vogue, ID, Prada, Sony Music, and ITV.

Along with the rest of the nation, we were deeply saddened to hear the news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday 8 September.

Given this period of mourning and after careful consideration, we will not be holding our ‘Celebration of Cyprus’ event as planned on Saturday 17th September. However, the President of the Republic of Cyprus has expressed his strong desire to return to London for this event as soon as possible and we are already in discussion with his office to establish a new date for this event. We will inform you when a new date is confirmed and we hope that you will be able to join us.

We express our apologies for any inconvenience caused by the event’s postponement, and thank you for your support and understanding.

Celebrate the independence of Cyprus and the UK Cypriot community

About this event

In 2020 the Republic of Cyprus celebrated its 60th anniversary, a historic occasion for a young, democratic country. The National Federation of Cypriots in the UK had planned a Gala Dinner to mark this occasion which, unfortunately, had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Two years later, we are proud to be hosting ‘A Celebration of Cyprus’ with H.E. the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Mr Nicos Anastasiades, as the Guest of Honour in the final few months of his Presidency.
The Gala Dinner will be an occasion for our vibrant diaspora to celebrate both the independence of Cyprus, as well as the immense contribution of the 300,000 Britons of Cypriot heritage.
