Eleftheria Sokratous is an artist, with a background in (inclusive) dance and performing arts. As a performer and maker, her work revolves around using movement as a tool for social change, researching political matters, activism, and creating participatory projects with local communities. She also teaches movement at institutions for adults with various disabilities. In addition, Eleftheria manages and coordinates the artistic projects of “Ipogeia Skini”, a Limassol-based NGO focused on producing its own cultural activities, as well as providing shelter to local and international artists to research and create beyond the given structures, allowing them to experiment with new ideas and artistic trends. The NGO’s physical space, Synergeio, is open to citizens’ initiatives for cultural and social action that promotes a form of art that evolves from solidarity as well as through the reflection of everyday life. A recent project of Eleftheria and “Ipogeia Skini” is “ΑΠΟαποικιοΠΟΙΗΣΗ”, in collaboration with the linguist Spyros Armostis and the artist Alexia Achilleos.

Spyros Armostis is a Lecturer in Linguistics at the Department of English Studies, University of Cyprus. He holds a PhD and an MPhil in Linguistics (with specialisation in Phonetics) from the University of Cambridge and a BA in Classics from the University of Cyprus. His research interests lie in the fields of phonetics, phonology, sociolinguistics, clinical linguistics, grapholinguistics, and language documentation and revitalisation. He is currently the president of the Cyprus Linguistics Society (CyLing) and an appointed member of the Cyprus Permanent Committee for the Standardisation of Geographical Names. Finally, he has orthographically edited the parts written in Cypriot Greek of books such as “Ἕνα Αλποὺμ ἴστορίες” (2014) by Antonis Georgiou, “Οι πρωτόπλαστοι” (2015) by Sofronis Sofroniou, “Το Βουνί” (2020) by Louisa Papaloizou, and “Ανθρωπόκαινος” (2022) by Konstantinos Papageorgiou.

Alexia Achilleos is an artist, with a background in fine art, archaeology and cultural studies. She is currently a PhD Fellow at CYENS – Centre of Excellence, undertaking artistic research on colonialism and AI, as well as a Research Associate at the Media Art & Design Research Lab (MADLab) at Cyprus University of Technology. Alexia is interested in the social, cultural, and political issues that impact narrative and power dynamics. By investigating data and utilising machine learning processes, often in a historical context, she aims to re-examine such issues found within history and society, but also within AI technology itself, particularly challenging the idea of technology as universal and objective.
