Strovolos, Cyprus. The exhibition “Echoes of Trees – Between Image and Verse” will open on May 27 at the head offices of Electricity Authority of Cyprus in Strovolos. Organised by the Cyprus Red Cross in collaboration with EAC, it is held under the auspices of first lady Philippa Karsera Christodoulides.
Opening event and charitable component
A short cello performance by Robertas Grod will take place at the opening event, featuring works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Gaspar Cassadó and Giorgos Karvellos. Visitors will be able to browse the images and written works and purchase photographs, with part of the proceeds to be donated to the Cyprus Red Cross.
Exhibition theme and structure
The exhibition is presented in two sections united by the theme of trees, roots and lifecycles, featuring 66 photographs by 28 photographers in dialogue with poetry. The works were originally presented as part of the Poetry Moves International Festival / International Festival of Poetry and Movement 2025, organised every October in Nicosia since 2023.
PhOETRY III section
The first section, titled “PhOETRY III”, includes 34 selected works from an international photography competition held in 2025 that received 405 submissions from seven countries. Each photograph is accompanied by the poem that inspired it, and an artistic video installation links the photographs with poetry recitations in the poets’ original languages.
The Poetry of the Image section
The second section, titled “The Poetry of the Image”, presents a reverse creative dialogue in which photographs by nine photographers served as the starting point for new poems by eight Cypriot poets. The poems are presented visually and audibly through the creators’ voices.
Dates, venue and hours
The group exhibition will run from May 27 to June 1 at the Electricity Authority of Cyprus head offices, 11 Amphipoleos Street, Nicosia. The opening night starts at 7pm, with visiting hours Monday to Friday from 10am to 2pm and Saturday to Sunday from 12pm to 3pm.
