Awareness
AWARENESS 2025: Unselfing
This year’s exhibition marked the 5-year anniversary of Awareness and explored the evolution of consciousness as a spiritual journey. Its aim was to present works that functioned as portals—mirrors—guiding the viewer into contact with the core of existence, a quiet, open awareness that embraced and supported every experience.
AWARENESS 2024: Perceptions of Existence
For the fourth consecutive year, the After:noon / Project team organized the art event Awareness 2024 at the “Caves” Exhibition Space in Acropolis Park, Nicosia! Awareness 2024: Perceptions of Existence explored human consciousness, the dynamics of our relationships, and our interaction with the environment.
AWARENESS 2023
For the third year Afternoon Project organized the Art & Research Exhibition ‘Awareness 2023’ at the Acropolis Park in Nicosia on 10-11 of November 2023. Through the combination of art exhibition, video projections and the presentation of architectural, social and developmental research, Afternoon Project main objective was the social, urban and environmental awareness which is necessary to achieve a creative, functional, sustainable and quality life framework in town.
Urban Awareness 2022
Through the combination of art and the presentation of architectural, social and developmental research, our main objective was urban awareness of citizens which is necessary to achieve a creative, functional, sustainable and quality framework of life in the city. Some participants instead of exhibiting art pieces presented their work through videography. A projection room was available for the visitors to watch all the videos every one hour. While the exhibition was running, the outdoor space of the Venue was available for social drinking accompanied with Ambient & Minimal Techno music.
Social Awareness 2021
‘Social Awareness Project’ was a conscious collection of works of art, videos, etc. that addressed social issues aiming to raise awareness about equality, individualism, diversity, social acceptance, mental disorders, the environment, etc.
After a very difficult period for arts and innovative projects, we have managed to create an organic art community which will be actively contributive in a daily basis in our cities. This could have never been achieved without the trust and support of artists who delivered an impressive, conscious & professional outcome.
