Lilipou celebrates birthday with a party and an exhibition

2 (2)

An intimate party is coming to a picturesque Limassol street filled with art and creativity. Lilipou Gift Store is a colourful shop on ZikZak street which hosts the work of several artists and a curated collection of usable, audible, wearable and visual art. Two years after opening, in the midst of a pandemic, the store is finally throwing a party and has invited a few other creatives to celebrate.

The party on August 4 will kick off at 7pm and owners husband-and-wife duo Loucas and Daphne are thrilled to welcome guests and artists. “Lilipou’s eclectic collection,” they say, “has been curated with the mindset that ‘the more thought we put into which objects we choose to use in our daily life the more quality they will provide to our lives as they will be less disposable and more sustainable’.

“Each product has a story and a creator who is showcased and brought to the spotlight – in a time of mass production,” they add. “The collection is inspired by natural elements, lively playful colours aiming to support independent artists and designers. Books, stationery, ceramic tableware, home décor, jewellery and more can be found in store.”

Apart from celebrating its second anniversary, Lilipou will also host a pop-up exhibition by ceramist Souzana Petri. Souzana will exhibit in Limassol for the first time, briefly leaving her Nicosia-based studio where she teaches ceramics. She uses clay as a way of expression to send her own messages to the viewer and the main theme of her work is inspired by the ancient history of Cyprus, adding modern elements. Most recently Souzana has been experimenting with other materials such as copper, which she uses to create natural forms and elements.

Opening the event and the exhibition, which will last until August 11, will be Ermina Emmanuel, President of the Cyprus Association of Graphic Designers and Illustrators. Shortly after, seasoned musician and music selector Stelios Xydias will accompany the party with his music selections while and drinks and aperitifs will be served to complete the party atmosphere.
