Urban Gorillas in partnership with Berlin based Plastique Fantastique, architect and inflatables expert Marco Canevacci, the Architecture Research Centre (ARC) of the University of Nicosia and Dendros forestry announce their upcoming festival ΦουσκοPolis.
A series of temporary architecture installations in the form of giant inflatables in public spaces all over Cyprus that will host a rich/diverse programme of local and international artists and activities after carrying out an open call for the community to present their own work and ideas. The innovative street festival invites the participation of the public and passers-by to get involved and experience their city from a new perspective. ΦουσκοPolisis a grassroots initiative by the multidisciplinary Urban Gorillas team and their collaborators and benefits from a grant from Iceland, Liechstenstein and Norway through the EEA Grants / Norway Grants.
The programme of activities includes a diverse range of actions from dance performances and installations to interactive games, drumming, storytelling, a skateboarding event, yoga and even musical workshops for the under-fives and infants. There will be photography on show, projections, screenings and a series of urban furniture installations as well as workshops, roundtable discussions, and a chance to experience the food and culture of a host of minority groups living in Cyprus from all over the Middle East, Far East and Africa. Through their Open Call, Urban Gorillas welcomed proposals from creative groups, collectives, artists, community organisations, other NGOs, designers and performers for activities to take place within the festival programme.
