An interactive event with Dr Anna Charalambidou (Middlesex) and Dr Petros Karatsareas (Westminster) interconnecting different sites across Camden that tell the histories, trajectories and experiences of the Cypriot community in London.
The walk will conclude with a screening at Camden Arts Centre of ‘Camden to Enfield’, a short documentary produced by Athena Mandis (Queen Mary) tracing the contribution of the Cypriot diaspora contribution to London’s multiculturalism.
The event draws on Anna’s and Petros’ research on documenting the cultural heritage of London’s Greek Cypriot community, including its innovative linguistic repertoire explored in the Grenglish project (https://www.grenglish.org/).
The walk & screening event is commissioned by Camden Arts Centre, on the occasion of Christodoulos Panayiotou‘s introducing ‘Act II: The Island’. The exhibition encompasses a wide range of media and touches on questions of politics, economy, nationhood and imperialism.
