The "Matter and Community" event brings contemporary art into creative dialogue with the cultural heritage of the villages of Lasa and Fyti, highlighting stone, earth and traditional techniques as living elements of local identity. Through an art exhibition, an artist residency programme, hands-on workshops, presentations and narrated walks, residents and visitors are invited to discover the stories, memories and knowledge connected with the natural and built landscape of the area. The event promotes inclusion and participation for all, with workshops open to the general public, activities for all ages and a particular emphasis on the participation of older people through intergenerational workshops that bring together elderly people and their grandchildren. At the same time, it brings professional and amateur creators into creative dialogue, highlighting the creativity of the Cypriot countryside and laying the foundations for a long-term relationship between the local community and contemporary art.
