Stories of Women Activism

A video documentary was presented, capturing moments from workshops organized by Urban Gorillas and guided by Natalia Panagiotou, in collaboration with the women of Kaimakli EKYSY, a retirees' organization. These remarkable elderly women shared their inspiring stories of establishing the organization, emphasizing themes of solidarity and their relentless pursuit of peace in the context of our divided island.

Natalia Panagiotou, a renowned actress and theater specialist, skillfully employed dramaturgical techniques to delve deep into the spirited narratives of the EKISY women, shining a light on tales of community strengthening, mutual support, and activism. Following the workshops, the video documentary premiered at the Pame Kaimakli Festival and was subsequently featured in a separate screening three weeks after the festival's conclusion. The workshops were co-funded by the Commonwealth Foundation.
