Iliada Charalambous
Iliada Charalambous is a Cypriot visual artist whose practice centres on assembling and collective political education. Through her work, she collaborates with diverse communities to reflect on the commons, explore methods and tools for collective organising, and imagine potential forms of resistance. She is currently developing the program Assembling in Resistance at BAK (Basis voor Actuele Kunst), which is structured around the assembly artwork What Are Your Flowers? She collaborated with Serda Demir on the series True Counterpower at the Van Abbemuseum and leads the political education program Reading Counterpower at Gemaal op Zuid, Rotterdam. She has completed the BAK Fellowship for Situated Practice (2023–24).
