Events

Alongside the exhibition, WIP Festival 2026: FLOWS unfolds through a programme of workshops, participatory events, presentations, screenings and guided tours taking place across Nicosia from 16 to 25 October. Each one offers a different way to take part: making with your hands, exchanging ideas, meeting the people behind the research, or simply seeing the city and its stories from a new angle. Browse the programme by category below. Most events are free, but places are limited and many require advance registration.
