The Mirror of Conflict exhibition at Hollar Gallery

The Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism invites you to an art-based research exhibition on the memorials of Cyprus by Nico Carpentier. The exhibition takes place from 1 to 6 October 2024 at Hollar Gallery. The gallery's opening hours are 10.00–12.00 am and 1.00–6.00 pm.

The exhibition investigates how the memorials on the island of Cyprus represent the Cyprus Problem in very particular ways, often supporting antagonistic nationalist discourses and constructing the other as Enemy. It is an arts-based research project, grounded in academic research, that uses an artistic repertoire to communicate and co-produce knowledge.

The first edition of the exhibition (April 22) has been organised in collaboration with the Association for Historical Dialogue and Research (AHDR), H4C, the Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism at Charles University and SQRIDGE, while the second and third edition (January & May 2023) are organised in collaboration with the Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism at Charles University, CULCORC and SQRIDGE. For the fourth edition (October 23), Istanbul Bilgi University and its Faculty of Communication provided support, and for the fifth edition (September-October 24), support was provided by the Hollar Gallery, Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism at Charles University, CULCORC and SQRIDGE.
