Social Web of Trikoupi Street
A wall the authorities paid for, by an artist whose murals they have erased.
Listen to this place’s story in Peplos.
How the story begins
"It looks nice, but it doesn't change anything." That is one local's verdict, given anonymously to the Cyprus Mail, after the makeover of this street. The artist says himself that a mural will not solve the problems. He signs as Twenty Three, and his real identity is not generally known. The authorities have erased his murals before, when they appeared in the wrong place. This time the Nicosia Tourism Board paid for thirty-eight metres in the right one, on a street newly cobbled, with the cars pushed out of sight behind this wall.
The rest is in the app. Peplos plays the full story when you reach the place. You can also listen ahead of time.
