SUMMARY:Dr Yiannis Toumazis Lecture & Talk
DESCRIPTION:Reserve your spot via link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dr-yiannis-toumazis-lecture-talk-tickets-1986330187060? \n\n\n\n\nA glimpse into Famagusta’s cultural: A treasure trove of Greek Cypriot art returned by the Turkish Cypriot to the Greek Cypriot community \n\n\n\nGeorghiou – Timeless Cyprus\, presented in London on the occasion of Cyprus’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union (January–June 2026). \n\n\n\nDelivered by Dr Yiannis Toumazis\, the talk offers a rare and deeply personal insight into the return of important Greek Cypriot artworks that remained inaccessible for decades in Famagusta. Drawing on his pivotal role in the bicommunal Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage\, Dr Toumazis reflects on the negotiations\, field visits\, documentation processes\, and human encounters that enabled these works to be recovered and shared once more with the public. \n\n\n\nAt the heart of the lecture lies the work of George Pol. Georghiou\, a central figure of Cypriot modern art whose paintings became a visual chronicle of the island’s modern history. Rooted in the landscapes\, people\, and traditions of Cyprus\, his imagery captures both monumental and intimate momentsm faith and daily life\, displacement and continuity\, memory and resilience. Through this lens\, the lecture invites audiences to consider how art can function as testimony and how cultural heritage can preserve identity across time and rupture. \n\n\n\nExpanding the themes of the exhibition\, the talk explores the broader concept of cultural return and restitution\, addressing why the protection and recovery of cultural heritage remains a shared European responsibility. Within the context of Cyprus’s EU Presidency\, the event highlights culture as a powerful space for dialogue\, cooperation\, and reconciliation. \n\n\n\nVisitors are warmly encouraged to arrive early to view the exhibition before the lecture begins. \n\n\nAbout the Exhibition \n\n\n\nGeorge Pol. Georghiou – Timeless Cyprus is presented by the A. G. Leventis Foundationthrough the A. G. Leventis Gallery\, with the support of the Deputy Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Cyprus and the Cyprus High Commission in the UK. The exhibition is curated by Loukia Loizou Hadjigavriel and Katerina Stephanides\, following the vision of the late Eleni S. Nikita\, and brings together works from state\, private\, and family collections\, including a significant number of works returned from the occupied areas of Cyprus.
