Press Release
“Beyond …” is an international artistic and philosophical event is being organized and developed in Cyprus by several artists, thinkers and writers from different parts of the world. It  is  designed to explore and present the fluidity of limits human-beings set upon themselves for different historic, political and social reasons. Our world-order has created many artificial divisions in bodies and minds, on land and sea, inherited from layers of control structures that have been imposed from top to bottom for millennia. Whether they be climate crisis, immigration crisis, hunger and poverty, nationalism, religious extremism, sex and drug trafficking, or helplessness in the face of natural or human-made catastrophes, we all suffer from these problems, restrictions and limits. Once in a while in natural disasters humans come together for brief moments of solidarity, but for most of the time they forget that they are all bound together in human destiny and in planetary crisis. On the other hand, our world also offers many resources to address these problems, if we heed those wise and creative voices, artists and philosophers who offer pathways to overcome them. The project “Beyond …” does not have any ambitious political goals but rather aims to work at grass roots, to bring people together in artistic and philosophical forums for a fruitful dialogue and exchange. It is open to anyone who likes to join the journey.
