photography exhibition by Marina Antoniou

BOOK HERE

Marina Antoniou captures water (‘ydor’) in different forms. She photographs icebergs in Antarctica and Greenland, lakes in Galapagos, the crystal waters of the Mediterranean sea in Venice, Greece and Cyprus and lava beaches in Iceland. She presents aerial photos of the Amazon rainforest and snowstorm in the Alps. She photographs water as the natural habitat of whales, penguins and of an undiscovered sea life that human action is putting at risk. Through her exhibition, Marina invites us to re-evaluate our presence in the world and reflect on the urgent need to protect the primary and most essential source of life: Ydor.

Dimitris Soukaras is a Classical Guitarist based in the UK. Through his imaginative programs, featuring new music and arrangements, as well as through his chamber music collaborations, he tries to redefine the relationship between classical guitar and the audience. His interest in new music and the process of collaboration started from a very young age and recently led him to create a project featuring some of Greece’s most high-profile composers’ works that were dedicated to him.

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.
