THE ALIEN TRAIL - Palia Ilektriki - 8 to 24 September


The Alien Trail

Pafos has always welcomed foreigners from all over the world, many of whom have been assimilated into its society. There are also those who remain invisible and anonymous, still in the status of the foreigner. Following their traces, this project aims at bringing them to light and fostering their social assimilation. Some wellknown European photographers will wander in the neighbourhoods of Pafos and will record the adventures of a world unseen. Sociologists and anthropologists will also contribute to the work in which children of minorities will get involved in order to surpass their linguistic or social limitations. When the project is finished, a documentary and a publication, producing material against racism and social exclusion, will record all these activities.
Photographers: Nikos Economopoulos, Antoine D’Agata, Bieke Depoorter, Nikolas Iordanou from Greece, Belgium and Cyprus. Anthropologist: Nandina Christopoulou. Curators: Nicolas Iordanou and Sylvia Nikolaides.
