Possible Landscapes is a peace-building participatory project using Instagram. It was created in collaboration with Home 4 Cooperation, a peace-building organisation located within the ‘buffer zone’ in Nicosia, Cyprus.
It is the result of a residency completed in Cyprus in 2015. The original idea was to seamlessly combine the earth and the sky of North and South Cyprus. It evolved into an invitation to the Cypriot community to contribute with their own photographs of the country. The final outcome is a continuous, growing, un-interrupted horizon of the country. North, South, East and West are indiscernible and all that remains are the images of a Cypriot youth celebrating their country.

Monica has been leading a durational photography project advocating for connection in a divided Cyprus.
