⚓ anchorings are invitations to gather and float side by side. Sometimes we read, others we perform, host workshops, writing sessions, screen films and share other things that excite us.
In a time when meaning seems to be escaping our words this co-learning assembly focuses on how we can resist these violent pulls through the act of writing, translating and publishing. Our study is grounded within the linguistic and cultural landscape of Cyprus, a historically contested space where languages and identities have intersected, collided, and evolved over centuries.
During the Queerwave festival 2025 we will be taking care of a corner dedicated to Palestine: a place for reading, printing and learning. Learning Palestine is a collective initiative which aims to disseminate knowledge on the history of the ongoing struggle for justice, liberation, and the freedom of Palestine and the Palestinian People.
This performance took place exactly two years after the death of our beloved Elena Toumazi Rembelina, whose writing keeps shining light on our paths. For the performance we brought objects from her home in Limassol, exploring how we search for people in their archives, but instead, only find traces, outlines and our interpretations of them-and that’s where we also find each other.
We invite you to join us—not out of urgency, but because gathering matters. We are the 2024–2025 COOP study group An Invitation to Action—A Basis for Hope—cultural workers from Honduras, Greece, China, Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Italy, Nigeria, and Cameroon. Over the past year, we’ve been following the traces of the Medu Art Ensemble, learning how culture can challenge the systems that try to contain it. From Nida’s quiet forests to the buffer zone in Nicosia, we’ve been listening. Practicing Harney and Thompson’s slow reading, walking until silence taught us something, tuning into the fading signals of Radio Alice and Free Radio Algeria. We’ve tried to do as Pauline Oliveros once suggested: “walk so silently that the bottoms of your feet become ears.”
We invite you to an afternoon of wandering in the landscape of Platres, activating these literary texts through a walking-score that grapples with the concept of the horizon as both a physical line in the landscape and a constructed boundary between the known and unknown. Together we will chart a new navigational path, weaving in the authors we have gifted to each other and to our friends—our shared textual ecosystems…
To mark the end of our Weaving or fishing nets co-learning assembly we are holding a long table discussion. The Long Table is a format for discussion that uses the setting of a domestic dinner table as a means to generate public conversation. Conceived in 2003 by Lois Weaver in response to the divided nature of conventional panel discussions, the Long Table allows voices to be heard equally, disrupting hierarchical notions of …
Weaving our fishing nets is a co-learning assembly hosted by Fisherwomxn at Thkio Ppalies. Like a docking pole planted in the open sea it aims to anchor our community in feminist and anti-colonial thought and to provide a space for its collective study. Floating side by side, resident artists, invited practitioners and the public will seek to challenge the prevailing eurocentric, patriarchal and hegemonic approach to knowledge by reimagining the space of the library and the practice of publishing. How do knowledge(s) intersect in the context …
The Museum of the Falling Daughter is a performance that proposes a feminist reading of the Majestic Gallery through an interdisciplinary entanglement of choreography and text. The dramaturgical score re-imagines the museum as a domestic space and explores the representations of mothers, daughters and fathers in national and patriarchal imaginings. It seeks to question familiar bonds, and how…
The museum of the falling daughter aims to question national and patriarchal narratives of the museum through re-imagining it as a domestic space. What is kept in storage and behind closed doors? What if critical articles from the museum archive are seen as family albums? What haunts the museum? We invite you for a day at the museum to listen to the whispers from behind paintings and closed doors, search through the museum archives and construct alternative museum …
To be in correspondence is to acknowledge our relationship to others and to understand that our experiences combined can reveal meaning and truths which are otherwise invisible to us. In this publication friends invite other friends, collaborations and exchanges develop over shared google docs, voice messages, emails, letters, long phone calls, dinner parties and book exchanges.
We warmly invite you to join us for a gathering of salty incantations through a series of readings that draw from radical, feminist, anti-capitalist and anti-colonial literature of Cyprus and beyond. This gathering will focus on the conceptual, literary and material manifestations of tears; tears as leaks, as that which is constricted in the bounds of something else finding its way …
Προσκαλούμε σας να έρτετε στο βιβλιοπωλείο Moufflon, όπου εν νά σας περιμένουμε για να εξερευνήσουμε μαζί γυναικείες φωνές της λογοτεχνίας της κύπρου. Το Fisherwomxn εν μια προσπάθεια να εξερευνήσουμε ποιές είμαστε εμείς σήμερα, ποιά εν η ιστορία μας, η γενεαλογία μας σαν γυναίκες τζαι σαν κυπραίες κάτω που την αποικιοκρατία, σαν άτομα που πάντα υπήρχαμε αλλά ποττέ εν είχαμε χώρο – εν μας εκρατούσε η ιστορία, ή εκρατούσε μας μέσα που τη γλώσσα του άντρα τζαι του αποικιοκράτη, άρα εκρατούσε μια αντανάκλαση μας τζαι όι …
