Honored to have been the Artist Keynote speaker for the 8th International Conference ART & THE CITY: Art, Urban Ecologies, and the City.
Hosted by the University of Cyprus, Department of Architecture. Nicosia, Cyprus 10-13 June, 2026.
Organized by Tijen Tunali and Konstantinos Avramidis, it was multidisciplinary and engagingly interactive, with a touch of quirkiness— showing that academic conferences can be a celebration of research, cultural exchange, and intellect that’s neither overstuffed nor stuffy!
Thank you Tijen & Kosta for inviting me and giving me an hour to talk about how place and memory is reconstructed in my artwork and to engage in the resulting, rich conversations with everyone. And thanks to all the wonderful presenters and folks for sharing your research, ideas, and enthusiasm!
