“Do you believe narratives can change the direction of the trolley we are in?”

​

Nuné is an artist who focuses on storytelling through film. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Hanze University in the Netherlands and has exhibited her works there before moving back to Cyprus to continue her art practice.

​

Driven by her belief in the power of human-centered narratives, they explore the intricacies of personal stories, seeing them as catalysts for broader societal change.

For her healing the intimate is key to healing the political.

Nuné believes that these stories can challenge the dominant narratives present in our cultures and promote empathy and understanding by inviting the audience into these intimate spaces where dialogue and meaningful reflection can take place. Her works emphasizes the humanization of the "other," serving as a powerful reminder of our collective humanity with the aim of bridging the gap of separation present in our society.

I was brought up as an Armenian immigrant in a very traditional home.

As my parents struggled for their basic survival needs, growing up, emotional and mental health was not discussed and given any priority.

Having experienced this disconnect as a child it sparked an intense need within me to be understood and to connect to fellow humans on deeper levels.

My artistic research is a continuous process of doing so.
