Storytelling

In April 2022,  the residents of Kaimakli were invited to adopt 100 plants and trees, which were offered by the Forest Department of Cyprus. Two months later, in July 2022, within the framework of the Pame Kaimakli Festival the residents returned with their plants and seeds, planted in ceramic pots in order to place them in the ‘Vertical Gardens’ - the community’s new collective garden which was moved to Synergasias linear park.

The activity was staged at Pame Kaimakli Festival, which took place on July 8th to July 12th 2022, under the thematic Urban Playground. The installation was exhibited in the collective garden on Synergasias linear park. Following negotiations with the municipality of Nicosia the installation was accepted to remain in this pubic passage as a permanent urban feature as residents are taking turns to water and take care of the plants.
