Vis-à-Vis addresses critical challenges facing civil society in Cyprus, including limited reach, weak intersectoral collaboration with the cultural sector, lack of accessible infrastructure and regional imbalance. The project’s overall objective is to strengthen civic space by supporting ongoing civil society initiatives through connections with the creative and cultural sectors, and specifically the socially engaged arts. Τhe project aspires to cultivate a more collective, pluralistic, and participatory civic life across Cyprus by (a) establishing a non-commercial civic hub in Nicosia as a shared space for CSOs, (b) hosting an arts informed programme of public dialogues, showcases, and exhibitions, and (c) launching a podcast to amplify diverse voices through cultural journalism and storytelling.
