May is normally a slow month in the Cyprus arts scene. NeMe is trying to remedy this with two talks that ever slightly try to fill this gap.

Closure of the NeMe forum
Dear NeMe forum Community,
After serious consideration, we have made the difficult decision to close our online Forum.
Open Letter to the Deputy Ministry of Culture
Following our meeting on October 14, where we discussed the grant program for the visual arts, we would like to express our disappointment in writing. While the focus of our meeting was on “Culture Program II, the work we have already completed, areas needing improvement, and a discussion about the changes your ministry intended to publish, which we believe are very problematic,” the new program was announced just two hours before our meeting, through a unilateral and authoritarian decision on your part, and unfortunately without consultation with the affected parties, at least those in the visual arts sector, while you mentioned that there were in-person consultations with other sectors.
Archiving Care

EMAP Selected Artists for 2024
What noise is actually cancelled from the world by noise-cancelling technology? What tactics can we use to trick biased AI hiring bots? How can the reinterpretation of archaic cultural contexts shed new light on our present? These are some of the exciting questions the artists selected for the EMAP 2024 residencies will work on. Other selected artists will create synthetic rainbows, collect biological traces and memories in a pandemic archive or explore topics such as compost as superfood, exhausted landscapes and the link between time and weather.

MoneyLab#13 - Call for submissions
The capitalist economic model, in its purest form, does not explicitly centre human well-being as its primary objective.
NeMe in April
We are happy to invite you to the opening of our new exhibition, UNLAND, and to the COST funded training school, Data for Care.
Data for Care
In the current environment where economic, gender, and health inequalities are intensified by the Covid-19 pandemic, discussions around the provision of care and how to best realise it is a main concern. How can we make sense of community-organised shared care, in contrast to the rhetoric of care used by governments and corporations attempting to brand themselves as “caring”?
European Media Art Platform Announces 2023 Selected Artists
The 2023 selected artists for the European Media Art Platform’s residency programme take on unusual connections and current issues in a variety of ways. They explore the coexistence of urban centres and natural ecosystems, illuminate exciting possibilities for interplanetary existence, confront current scepticism about technology and “techlore,” and work between art, and artistic research.
