Views of Phlamoudhi, Cyprus

Cyprus Museum, Nicosia, Cyprus
18 June - 18 September 2009

The Mediterranean has always been a place of dynamic cultural and artistic interaction. With the advent of burgeoning sea trade in the second half of the second millennium BCE, or the Late Bronze Age, Cyprus became a vital and prominent place of interaction, bringing together people and ideas from all parts of the Mediterranean world. Cyprus continued throughout its history – in the Iron Age … the Roman period … the Middle Ages … and the modern day – to be a place of interconnections. The village of Phlamoudhi was a part of that vibrant world. The contributions of Phlamoudhi to the art and culture of the Mediterranean was made public for the first time in an exhibition that ran from January 18-March 19, 2005 in the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery in Schermerhorn Hall on the campus of Columbia University. This exhibit will reopen in the Cyprus Museum on June 18, 2009. It will feature the archaeology of Phlamoudhi in addition to an exhibition of photographs of the village and its residents taken by Ian J. Cohn in 1972.
