A brand-new group exhibition of local and Italian artists opens in Limassol this week exploring the role of women in love and war. Held at the Cornaro Art Centre, the Feminine Episteme: The Frontiers of Love and War exhibition officially opens on Friday, March 22, inaugurated at 6.30pm with an opening speech by the Deputy Minister of Culture, Dr Vasiliki Kassianidou.
The exhibition is organised by the Dante Alighieri Comitato di Cipro, the International Centre of Studies of Arts and Humanities and its president Umberto Mondini, in collaboration with Andreas Efstathiou, Director of the Cornaro Art Centre, and Stefania Pennacchio, president of the Leucò Art Cultural Association, and it promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of the role of women in warfare and its reflection in art.

Through various media, the artists have projected their perspectives on women in war, emphasizing the theme of peace-making amidst conflict.
