FNM is a multi-communal initiative that works towards reconciliation in Cyprus through different forms of art and culture.

Guided by the motto “I Understand and Forgive the Past, I Love and Generate the Future”, FNM challenges the traditional role of museums in today’s societies while aiming to revitalise the city of Famagusta and reconnect the old city and other neighbourhoods with Varosha.

The initiative moves towards this goal through actions such as creating digital audiovisual archives, leading walking tours and organising community-focused events that support the social, cultural and political reactivation of the city.

It aims to engage people by opening space for public dialogue and encouraging artistic, environmental and social participation across communities in Cyprus.

The FNM team creates sound-maps with past and current residents of Famagusta. These maps act as self-guided tours and let you explore different parts of the city while listening to personal stories from the people who have lived there.
