WOMANIFESTO I, 2022. Elena Topalidou
WOMANIFESTO+ SCREENINGS
NIMAC- Nicosia Municipal Arts Centre
(Nicosia, Cyprus)
The films are screened in a unique space as part of the group show “Repetitive Acts”. Alongside the screenings, visitors are invited to respond by writing their manifestos and posting them directly onto the exhibition walls—transforming the space into a living archive of collective expression. This interactive element expands the project’s core themes of voice, visibility, and participation.

Experiential workshop with our director Efi Spyrou and artist Lenia Georgiou
During the first part of the workshop, participants had the opportunity to watch Womanifesto I & II. After the screening, participants had the opportunity to converse with the director, sharing their own experiences, thoughts and feelings, creating an ambience for fruitful dialogue and interaction. This open discussion offered a space for honest exchange and empowerment, encouraging expression and mutual understanding.
In the second part of the workshop,participants had the chance to express their personal experiences and voices through the use of art materials.
Drawing inspiration from their own unique world as women, they created their own works of art, expressing their personal stories, emotions, sensations, and thoughts through a creative process. This experiential approach provided a safe space for emotional expression, aiming to empower women and foster the creation of a women's community.
