Check out the list of participating artists and directors for the B#Side War international art festival in Venice. It’s a privilege to be among them. The festival deals with the legacies of 20th century conflicts – an issue that personally hits home on many levels. B#SIDE WAR festival promotes an across-the-board combined reflection on the communal past of the 20th century conflicts. The festival is attended by researchers, curators, museums and cultural institutions, involving a network of 64 international partners.

I will be delivering taster lessons in Philosophy for Universify Education in Oxford, an education charity committed to tackling educational inequality, giving young people from non-selective state schools the opportunity to achieve their potential in education, regardless of their background. These taster lessons provide Year 11 students (15-16y/o) with an authentic experience of studying different subjects at undergraduate level, helping them boost their aspirations, discover their academic passion and make an informed decision about their futures.

An update on our sustainability project in Cyprus: Check our recent photos! After months of taking care of the existing trees and crops and setting up an irrigation system by making full use of a natural spring, we have now started executing the design aspects of the project. Local farmers and overseas artists have divided the land plot into sections which will facilitate the development of the project. We will also be working together to raise the fence and the project’s ‘headquarters’. The sustainable business aspect of the project is also underway. More details will follow in the next couple of months so do watch this space!

Another day at the office. Tutoring my students across the world via VR, this time from Pembroke castle and Tenby harbour. Metaverse, we are ready!

The very start of a sustainability pilot project in Cyprus, based exclusively on the work of local villagers and visiting Artists and supported by Social funding we managed to secure. Stay tuned for more details!

This will be a very exciting, interactive demonstration based on a pilot project undertaken during my residency in Glen Nevis a few years back. The best part is that anyone across the world will be able to join in as well! More details to follow soon.

Ruins represent an intrinsic ambivalence: they are at the same time victims and survivors of the destructive time. It is the transience of beauty, the impermanence of things that has always fascinated the human mind and that, through the iconography of Vanitas, tried to foreshadow the terror of death, especially in times of war. This same language is resurfacing today, through different media and forms, in the works of contemporary artists who rework the legacies of the conflicts that have plagued the last century. A century marked by wars that strongly destroyed even the stuff built to survived the passing of time, inexorably changing the world and the rhythms of life. The incessant oscillation of the clock hand between two fixed points, photographs – family portraits- with erased faces, vases marked by cracks, skulls, ashes and flames, impressions of what we were: these are the elements that thanks to the work of the artists allow us to question ourselves about our impermanence, fragility and decadence, in the suggestive setting of the Castle of Duino.

Artists: Boris Beja, Claudio Beorchia, Lorenzo Bordonaro, Silvia Cavallari, Cosima Montavoci, Angela Alexander-Lloyd, Stelios Manganis, Nathalie Vanheule.

I am delighted to announce that Transportal will remain available to play for the foreseeable future! Project curator Cara Jean Flynn and organisers Canary Wharf Group PLC would like to permanently house the piano at Canary Wharf.
