Cultural and Research foundation Phaneromenis 70 was founded by artist Kyriaki Costa. It is an art center housed in the historic center of Nicosia. The main goals of the institution are aligned with the research field of social studies of ‘place’ and tourism. The role of “memory”, “identity”, who we are and how we project it, are some of the main objectives of our centre, into which we are trying to incorporate the general Nicosian crowd, offering a new dimension in the cultural spectrum of Nicosia and Cyprus.
Our main goals involve: encouraging artistic expression, supporting new artists, production of contemporary quality cultural work in the island in a horizontal alignment of arts, science and modern technology through various forms of expression, research, and broad embrace of Cypriot history and the town’s memories, as well as the showcasing of different folds of Cypriot society and Cypriot culture.
We have organised actions of cultural character that promote the folk artistic tradition and heritage, workshops, exhibitions, and we have published 25 chapters of our own cultural programme “Delivering Views”. We work with a series of local craftsmen and all our handmade products are delivered through collaborations with the entire community. All of our art products (art works, ceramics, jewelery) bare the handmade seal. We host a broad selection of original art pieces, paintings, sketches, poetry collections and conference books, and, through our events, we try to project all different viewpoints for the island. We wholeheartedly and unfairly support our projects through minimum governmental and private fundings as well as personal effort to highlight the cultural treasure of Cyprus to the locals and tourists.
