Pylon X DEO

Pylon Art & Culture is pleased to collaborate with DEO Projects, an innovative alter-institution based in Chios, Greece.

Through this partnership, Pylon supports Cypriot artists by offering them the opportunity to showcase works during DEO Projects' summer programme on Chios Island. In turn, Akis Kokkinos, founder and curator of DEO Projects, will visit Cyprus annually to provide critiques and guidance to local artists, contributing to the broader artistic landscape of Cyprus.

Pylon and DEO Projects will work together to make contemporary art more accessible to a wider audience and to foster cross-cultural dialogue in the region. Stay tuned for the  development of this dynamic partnership.
