The neighborhood Taht-el-Kalein in Nicosia is located in the inner core of the city around the historic Famagusta Gate. There are churches and mosques here, but otherwise it is a rather run-down area in terms of buildings and workshops, many of which have been abandoned and lost. Just as the buildings are only half used, so is the graffiti, which are rather bombed and short pieces, but super old ones are still existing. Nevertheless, the place is very interesting and shows a historicity of local crafts development and urban art. This strange border situation changed a lot and keeps it strange. Local artists like especially ASTRAKISTRIKES with her project “Mapping the Old City” try to bring more color and innovative ideas to those quarters.

A place of history, culture and art. The listed HAUS SCHWARZENBERG at the Hackescher Markt is home to a variety of facilities such as artists’ studios, an art-house cinema, memorials, a bar and galleries. In addition, there are commercial enterprises. In 1995, the “Verein Schwarzenberg” or in English the “Schwarzenberg Association” was founded and has been working since then cost-covering and economically independent, i.e. it receives no subsidies or other support. The association not only manages and rents out the space, but also promotes mainly young and unknown artists through the gallery NEUROTITAN.

Inconspicuous in the northeast quarter on the Greek side of Nicosia, along the Green Line with all the partly abandoned houses, but also mechanic workshops and small alternative creative places.

It’s a real paradise for graffiti and urban art, a treasure trove of artworks, some of which were made over ten years ago.
