Rivers Exhibition at Cyprus House

Date: 19 October to 29 November 2026
Venue: Cyprus House, St James’s, London

Rivers brings together the poems of Cypriot writer Costas Mannouris and the images of Eugenios Gavriil in a free installation at Cyprus House, presented by the Cultural Section of the Cyprus High Commission.

The work first appeared outdoors in St James’s Square Garden in the summer. This autumn it moves indoors, with words hung and layered through the gallery so that visitors walk through the poems at their own pace.

The starting point is the image of a dry riverbed inside each of us: the places where conversations, memories and silences once ran. The installation asks what we say, what we keep to ourselves and what stays with us afterwards.

Open Monday to Friday, 10am to 3pm, with free entry. There is also an Open House Sunday on 29 November, 1.15pm to 5.30pm, which needs a reservation.
