NICOSIA DEAREST

MUNICIPAL HALL LEDRAS STREET
14 – 25/06/2010

A city that keeps shifting, sprawling through its walls, constantly changing faces while growing larger and more complex, Nicosia is alive and breathing. A place to call home for its citizens, a place to call capital for Cypriots and a place to find a home for its visitors.

Recognizing the need for creating a visual identity for the city of Nicosia, the Applied Arts Department of Frederick University, has initiated the idea of founding the organization ‘Nicosia Dearest’. The organization will run as the official promotional office for the city, showcasing its culture, history, tourism, entertainment and urban life. Foremost objective of ‘Nicosia Dearest’ will be to produce a promotional campaign for Nicosia, and shaping a distinct character which will communicate the spirit of the city both visually and contextually.

Students from the Graphic and Advertising Design Program of Frederick University have been creatively engaged on this project and along with the support and cooperation of the Nicosia Municipality, will showcase their work on the upcoming exhibition ‘Nicosia Dearest’ on Μοnday, June 14th, 2010 at the Municipal Hall on Ledras street.
