Fact: Evdokia Kyrkou is currently presenting a new body of work titled Shadows and Beyond at Diatopos Contemporary Art Centre, curated by Daphne Nikita.
Journalist Evdokia Loizou struggled for 17 years to find justice for the professional illness she suffered, which was caused by her working conditions at CyBC, a state organization. Despite her efforts, CyBC denied the work-related nature of her illness, contradicting the decision of the Department of Labor Inspection. The court eventually ruled in favor of Loizou, recognizing the significant impact of her illness on her quality of life and career. CyBC had attempted to disprove the link between Loizou’s workspace and her illness in court and ignored evidence from various medical and official reports. The court’s decision highlighted the state’s criminal behavior through CyBC’s actions, leading to calls for an apology and compensation for Loizou.
