Ten Years of Horizon (2016-2025)

The "Horizon" column of the Haravgi newspaper celebrates ten years (2016-2025) of continuous presence, offering cultural content with an emphasis on Cypriot creation. During this decade, the column has hosted over 500 cultural inserts, maintaining Haravgi's tradition of promoting culture. The column is not limited to simply presenting artists and works, but also critically examines the inertia, omissions, and distortions of state and other structures. At the same time, it combats intolerance, censorship, racism, and all forms of exclusion. "Horizon" is committed to continuing to advocate for a vision for a substantial cultural policy, emphasizing the need for planning and action. Each week, it will publish excerpts from interviews and critical texts from the previous decade, highlighting the vibrancy and demands of the Cypriot cultural scene. The text also refers to the social and political challenges facing Cyprus, such as insecurity, poverty, high prices, and the refugee crisis, and questions whether engagement with culture can remain detached from these demands. It emphasizes the need for solidarity and a holistic approach that integrates culture into a broader context of change.
