The University of Nicosia Research Foundation and the Lakatamia Municipality cordially invite you to the exhibition and parallel events programme “Sickle & Code”. The event is part of the project Phygital and implemented by Thkio Ppalies.

Sickle & Code is an international exhibition, part of Phygital, a programme conceptualised for Cyprus by Dr. Chrystalleni Loizidou within the scope of investigating contemporary movements towards a knowledge-sharing economy that reconsiders capitalist definitions of credit, labour and production. Phygital is currently implemented in Tzoumerka (Greece), Tirana (Albania) and Nicosia (Cyprus), involving the development of makerspaces with a focus on free and open source software driven by local communities.

More specifically, in Sickle & Code, Cypriot and international artists present works that reflect, confront and re-evaluate current models of producing under the conjunction of global digital commons of knowledge.

The exhibition is accompanied by several parallel events that include makeathons, workshops, tours for schools and art schools, presentations, talks, performances and screenings. For updates and information on these events please visit: https://thkioppalies.org/Projects.
