During the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, the Yiannaki family fled their home in Karavas, seeking safety amidst bombings and heat, eventually finding solace in the south. Despite prejudice and hardship, they persevered, embodying resilience in the face of conflict.
The “Belonging” exhibition at the ASSEMBLE programme in Nicosia showcases the resilience and creativity of artists facing displacement, telling stories of loss, hope, and identity through their art. Curated by Shirin Zeraaty, the exhibition features works by artists like Myriam Dalal and Amak Mahmoodian, offering a glimpse into the experiences and cultural contributions of those affected by forced migration.
