How do flows shape the way we live, create, and connect?

The WIP (Work in Progress) Arts & Technology Festival returns in June 2026 for its 5th edition, inviting artists, designers, creative technologists, researchers, and interdisciplinary practitioners to submit proposals under the theme Flows.

WIP 2026 explores the visible and invisible movements that shape our world — from water and energy to data, culture, memory, and collective dynamics. Rooted in Cyprus and open to international voices, the festival is a platform where art meets technology at the crossroads of the Mediterranean, foregrounding experimentation, creative research, and work-in-progress practices.

Selected projects will be presented in June 2026 across venues in the historic centre of Nicosia and at CYENS, as part of an immersive public programme including exhibitions, performances, talks, and workshops.
