Iconoclastic Controversies

On Saturday 23 January NeMe invites you to the exhibition Iconoclastic Controversies: A visual sociology of statues and commemoration sites in the southern regions of Cyprus by Nico Carpentier and to the accompanying seminar, Monuments and Memorials as rhetoric / Objectivity as male. The exhibition contains 20 photographs, accompanying text panels and eight listening posts of recorded interviews that investigate the monuments, landmarks and statues that are part of the everyday life of Greek Cypriots. “The statues are vehicles of communication. They are vehicles of ideology and of information”, explains Nico Carpentier, “and they allow us to reflect about past, present and future.” More: http://www.neme.org/1777/iconoclastic-controversies
