About This Event

An expressive arts seminar exploring how cities change and affect our personal memories, led by artist and art therapist Asli Bolayir. Free admission; held in English on 26 November 2026 at CVAR in Nicosia.

Cities and Memory

How do we remember the places we live in?

Cities change over time. Streets, buildings and neighbourhoods transform, and places that once felt familiar become different. But what happens to the memories we have created in these places?

Living between Nicosia and Barcelona, artist and art therapist Asli Bolayir explores how changes in cities affect our personal memories and our relationship with the places we call home.

Through images, words and simple creative activities, the seminar invites participants to share their experiences, remember places that are important to them and reflect on what remains when cities change.

Admission free

Time: 17:00 – 18:30

The seminar will be held in English

Artist’s Bio

Asli Bolayir is an artist and art therapist living and working between Cyprus and Barcelona. Having studied at École des Beaux-Arts de Marseille in France and completed her art therapy training at IATBA in Barcelona, she has developed an artistic practice shaped by different places, experiences and encounters.

Working across different mediums, she approaches art as a way of observing, questioning and connecting with the world around her. Her work has been exhibited in Cyprus and internationally, including France, the Netherlands and Turkey. Her exhibitions and projects include Melancholia (2023), Eklektik Manifest / Diaspora (2024), Amor Fati (2024), and Purity (2024). In 2025, she was curator of the Gaza Biennale – Lefkoşa Pavilion. In 2020, her work was acquired by the State Collection of the Republic of Cyprus.

Alongside her artistic practice, she leads expressive arts workshops in Cyprus and Spain, creating spaces for exploration and exchange with people from different backgrounds and experiences. She has also worked as a lecturer at ARUCAD School of Fine Arts.
