Editorial e start off our quarterly issue of Cyprus Today with a truly remarkable effort by the WCyprus National Commission for UNESCO, and Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education and Culture, to preserve our beautiful island’s oral customs and traditions – with the invaluable contribution of the people still keeping these elements alive. An impressive eight new Cypriot elements have been inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, bringing our total up to eleven. Read on to find out just what it takes to get an element on the List, as well as details of our national treasures, including the dry stone technique, basketry from the Livadia community and Tsattista poetic duelling. And to prove how all the work is paying off, take a look at how well UNESCO’s training programme for Lefkaritiko embroidery lace turned out. It was that time of year again for our authors and illustrators, as the State Prizes for Literature rolled around in December to provide some well-earned recognition for their work. Speaking of recognition, it has been 100 years since the birth of the great Greek Cypriot writer, and poet, Kypros Chrysanthis, and the Council of Ministers has dedicated the year 2015 to him. Readers can find out how the Society of Cypriot Studies decided to honour him in this issue of Cyprus Today. And for our art lovers, we have art exhibitions by Zenon Sierepeklis, George Kotsonis and Constantinos Ptohopoulos, as well as an exhibition of relics from the EOKA Struggle to commemorate 60 years since the struggle began. Cinema lovers got to enjoy an array of the best local and national short film offerings in the 5th International Short Film Festival of Cyprus, with over one hundred short fiction, documentary, experimental and animated films from across the world receiving prizes in recognition of their contribution. Our current issue also takes a look at the celebrations marking 25 years of excavations conducted by members of the academic, interdepartmental Athienou Archaeological Project at the archaeological site of Malloura. The AAP is credited with rearing generations of young archaeologists, who have taken up important positions in universities and bodies abroad, promoting Cypriot archaeology to the world scientific community. And this year’s annual Nemitsas Foundation Prize was a bit closer to our hearts, as it was dedicated to Visual Arts. Artist Christodoulos Panayiotou, internationally recognised for his wide-ranging achievements in Visual Arts, and specifically the identification and uncovering of hidden narratives in visual records of time, was this year’s winner. This and much more on our island’s cultural life in this edition of Cyprus Today! 2 George Kotsonis Athienou Archaeological Project Intangible Cultural Heritage Lefkaritiko It was 1st of April 3 Eight new elements of Intangible Cultural Heritage n November 2015, the Cyprus National the existing entries of Lefkaritiko embroidery lace ICommission for UNESCO and the Cultural in 2009 (Lefkara community), the Tsiattista poetic Services of the Ministry of Education and Culture duelling in 2011 (Larnaca) and the Mediterranean announced that the National List of Intangible diet in 2013, with the community of Agros joining Cultural Heritage has been enriched with eight a multinational inscription. new elements.

  • N Cyprus There Are Few If Any Private Gardens That Are Open to the Public, but Most Major Towns Have Municipal Gardens, Which Vary Greatly from Place I to Place
    n Cyprus there are few if any private gardens that are open to the public, but most major towns have municipal gardens, which vary greatly from place I to place. Until very recently Cypriot gardens were mainly courtyards with a few herbs in pots and perhaps a grapevine or fig tree for shade during the long hot summer months. Latterly, with more and more Cypriots returning to their homeland from years spent in other countries where gardening is part of the culture, more adventurous plantings have been taking place and landscape gardeners are coming into their own, as people realise how therapeutic a garden can be after the rigours of work. In the valley where I live, amongst the courtyards and tiny planted strips around the houses, there are several gardens of note. In the village of Agia Anna in Larnaca District, there is a wonderful Cacti and Succulent Garden planted out on a rocky hillside. In the next village Psevdas, a garden lover has pruned the trees in his front garden into the most interesting shapes. In the same village two gardens on the main street have been landscaped in a modern style containing very old olive trees, which are such a part of the Cypriot landscape. My own garden in Mosfiloti has a lavender par terre, which has matured over the years. It no longer needs watering other than the rain which falls during the winter months, as the grey leaves protect the plants from the fierce-some sun. Many gardens are hidden away behind courtyard doors. If you are able to peek behind them, you will find some real jewels.

  • Press Release “The Religious Heritage of Cyprus” on Website
    Press Release “The Religious Heritage of Cyprus” on Website 2 August 2021 The Office of the Religious Track of the Cyprus Peace Process under the Auspices of the Embassy of Sweden (RTCYPP) and Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) Cyprus announce the launch of “The Religious Heritage of Cyprus” website https://www.cyreligiousheritage.org/ The website contains an interactive map with Christian and Muslim places of worship and cemeteries, including photos and background information, starting with the districts of Larnaca and Kyrenia followed by the district of Nicosia, coming soon. Presented in a simple, descriptive, and impartial way, it allows everyone interested to witness the current status of the religious heritage of the island and learn more about it. From the very beginning of the RTCYPP, the Religious Leaders have advocated for the right to freedom of religion or belief and the protection of the shared religious heritage of Cyprus including free access to all sacred spaces to restore, renovate and worship. Since 2011, they have worked together to promote the universal values of religious freedom and invited others to join them. The website, launched today, is part of the Religious Heritage of Cyprus project begun in 2019 headed by Dr Thorsten Kruse from the University of Münster in Germany, endorsed by the Religious Leaders of Cyprus and supported by the Office of RTCYPP. The result was the first ever research publication where Christian and Muslim religious monuments and cemeteries appear side by side, called “The Religious Heritage of Cyprus - a Survey in the Districts of Kyrenia and Larnaca”, mapping out Christian monuments and sites in the Kyrenia district and Muslim monuments and sites in the Larnaca District; funded by the Human Rights Fund of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands and supported onsite by the Embassy of the Netherlands in Nicosia.

Wie versprochen gibt es mit der vorliegen- den Ausgabe einen Sonder-Newsletter mit ausschließlich amerikanischen Neuan- kündigungen. Und die sind gleich so zahl- reich, dass es wieder einmal den gewohnten Rahmen von maximal 50 Seiten sprengt. Um Sie jedoch umfassend informieren zu können, war dies unabdingbar. Nicht etwa, dass das ein Problem wäre. Schon gar nicht bei der digitalen Version. Doch die Print- Ausgabe macht jetzt leider Handarbeit erforderlich. Denn unser Kopierer kann nicht mehr als 30 Blatt Papier (das sind genau 60 Seiten) automatisch heften. Nun ja, wir sehen das locker. Ein bisschen kör- perliche Arbeit hat noch niemandem ge- schadet. Um die Auslieferung des Newsletters nicht noch weiter zu verzö- gern und damit die Seitenzahl nicht astro- nomisch hoch wird, haben wir bewusst auf sämtliche Grafiken verzichtet. Dadurch wirkt die neue Ausgabe zwar gestalterisch etwas langweilig, aber der Informations- gehalt ist das was tatsächlich zählt. Und davon ist jede Menge vorhanden. Zu den Highlights gehören Filme wie SHUTTER, PROM NIGHT, THE RUINS, NIM’S ISLAND, LEATHERHEADS, 21, SHINE A LIGHT, MARRIED LIFE, OSS 117, MADE OF HONOR, WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS, DEAL, REST STOP 2, ROGUE, NEVER BACK DOWN und STREET KINGS.

  • Synesthetic Codes in Ligeti's Music
    SOUNDS, LINES AND COLORS: SYNESTHETIC CODES IN LIGETI'S MUSIC Assoc. Prof., Ph.D. BIANCA ŢIPLEA TEMEŞ “Gheorghe Dima” Music Academy, Cluj-Napoca Bianca ŢIPLEA TEMEŞ is Associate Professor Ph.D. at the ”Gheorghe Dima” Music Academy and head of the artistic department of the Transylvania Philharmonic. Holder of a Ph.D. in Musicology (National University of Music Bucharest), she has published in Romania, Spain, Switzerland, Lithuania, the Czech Republic and the U.S., and has participated in symposiums and conferences at home as well as in Vienna, Oldenburg, Vilnius, Dublin, Rome, Cambridge, Szombathely and Belgrade. She was the recipient of an ERASMUS scholarship at the University of Cambridge, where she worked with Nicholas Cook, serves as Visiting Professor at the University of Oviedo, Spain and at the Istituto Musicale ”Pietro Mascagni” in Livorno, Italy, and was the recipient of a research fellowship from the Paul Sacher Foundation in Basel and of a DAAD fellowship in Berlin. ABSTRACT Few modern composers have explored the relationship between sound and image to a greater extent than Ligeti. A self-proclaimed synesthete, he relied on both explicit and implicit visual stimuli to influence his creative process at every level. The arts of painting and graphics provided him with a sense of the decorative, while computer-generated images such as the Julia or Mandelbrot sets supplied him with new and modern means of inspiration. Recognized as a great connoisseur of the fine arts, from Canaletto and Guardi to Picasso, Magritte and the collages of Peter Balke, he seemed to blend sounds, lines and colors in his music, developing compositional methods from pictorial techniques and optical effects.
