Artist-Led Curated Tour

THERE IS AN ISLAND III

Cyprus House, London

Wednesday 11 March | 4:30pm – 6:00pm

The Cultural Section of the Cyprus High Commission invites audiences to a special Artist-Led Curated Tour of THERE IS AN ISLAND III, a major group exhibition bringing together 22 British Cypriot artists living and working in the United Kingdom.

This guided afternoon offers a rare opportunity to experience the exhibition through the voices of the artists themselves. Moving through the galleries alongside participating artists, visitors will gain deeper insight into the creative processes, personal narratives and conceptual frameworks that shape the works on display.

Curated by the Cultural Section of the Cyprus High Commission, THERE IS AN ISLAND III unfolds across three interconnected thematic pillars:

Women, Everyday Life, and Cyprus as a Bridge and Crossroads of the Mediterranean.

The exhibition presents Cyprus not simply as a geographical territory, but as a lived and evolving experience — shaped by memory, resilience, displacement, belonging and reinvention. Landscapes sit alongside fragments of the Cypriot lira; textiles converse with photography; abstraction meets narrative. Together, the works form a layered dialogue between past and present, homeland and diaspora, tradition and contemporary expression.

Artists shaped by diverse journeys and lived experiences work side by side within the same space, creating a plurality of voices that reflects the complexity of Cypriot identity in the 21st century. The exhibition becomes not only a display of artworks, but a shared environment — a living cultural space that continues to grow through encounter and conversation.

The Artist-Led Curated Tour invites visitors to move beyond observation and into dialogue. It is an opportunity to ask questions, explore materials and symbolism, and engage directly with the artists whose works form this evolving exhibition.
