This week the historic centre of Limassol will come alive with a vibrant programme of exhibitions, performances and site-specific projects as the 5th Limassol Art Walks returns. From October 9 to 11, artist-run spaces, institutions, galleries and pop-up initiatives will be open, inviting the public to explore art in the city.

“Visitors are encouraged to create their own routes,” says the team, “wander through Limassol’s streets, and discover the depth and diversity of its contemporary art scene. This year’s programme features a wide range of artistic practices and perspectives, touching on questions of place, memory, territory, ecology, identity, transformation and our relationships with the human and more-than-human world.”
