Nomadic Conversations- Cyprus by Johan Sandborg

Nomadic Conversations research approach utilities participatory practices, where ideas and decisions develop through a responsive process in order to address both tangible and intangible knowledge. This is organised as interwoven, overlapping and interrelated meeting points, sites for single or multiple field trips. Nomadic Conversations constitutes characteristics of potential instability, conflict, memory of tragedy and repressed history.

Nomadic Dialogue 1, Difficult histories

‘The place of barley’, Agios Sozomenos, Cyprus

Working in direct and close collaboration with the Department of Architecture at the University of Nicosia, during the period between 21.03 and 28.03, CCFT undertook and host a series of creative interventions and events within Agios Sozomenos, the surrounding area and specific sites in Nicosia. The interest in this place results from fieldwork and related discussions at a colloquium at the University of Nicosia in November 2016. Given the historic significance of the area, and the village’s more recent complex history along with its proximity to the UN Buffer Zone, it provides a powerful and poignant context for CCFT's research.
