We are proud to have played a pivotal role in the production and strategic communication of the "Famagusta 3.5%" exhibition, a profoundly moving and historically significant event. This unique photography and multimedia exhibition, created by Sotiris Danezis and hosted by the Municipality of Athens, marks the 50th anniversary of the Turkish invasion and occupation of Cyprus.
In an atmosphere charged with emotion, the exhibition was inaugurated in the presence of the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, and attended by distinguished guests. The event began with a poignant tour led by Sotiris Danezis, which provided attendees with an unflinching look at the haunting reality of Famagusta: a once-vibrant city turned ghost town. Watch the video recap of the opening event and view photos capturing the essence of this remarkable evening. This exhibition is proof of the Cypriot people’s resilience and a stark reminder of history’s enduring impact. It will be open to the public until 25 August at the Melina Mercouri Cultural Centre in Athens, with free admission for all.
The opening event received extensive media coverage, reflecting its profound impact and importance. The event, held on 10 July at the Melina Cultural Centre in Thiseio, was covered by major television networks, including Mega TV, Antenna, RIK, and Omega TV. At Danezis Stories, we are committed to supporting initiatives that preserve and honour our shared heritage. We are proud to contribute to this significant project and to help keep the memory of Famagusta alive.
