FA/DE – Famagusta/Deryneia mural art project is an artistic project conceived by WALLS, a Rome-based cultural organization, and Renewal, a UNDP-ACT project working for the development of the greater Famagusta region, in Cyprus. This encounter led to the organization of a mural art project in the greater Famagusta region that involves two communities, Famagusta and Deryneia, two symbolic cities, only a few kilometres apart, whose people have been divided for decades. From 19 to 24 October 2015, the artists will share the living and working space during a #residency while during the second week, from 26 to 31 October 2015, the artists implemented the #artworks. Each mural will be created through the combined work of the artists working in pairs, inter-communally. This constitutes a real performance of Public Urban Art aimed at creating an overall engagement of the community
Artists: Nurtane Karagil, Opsis Synopsis, twenty three and Umay Kutay Yilmaz
