Since the Greek-backed coup d\u2019etat and Turkish invasion of 1974 that divided the island and displaced a third of its population, Varosha was neither settled nor demolished. It turned into a \u201cghost town\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In 2006, a family friend entered the town undetected, snuck into the family\u2019s ancestral home, and recovered a childhood diary that belonged to Nicolaou\u2019s mother. This was the closest Nicolaou came to witnessing her mother\u2019s life before she was displaced, until October 2020, when the Turkish military opened Varosha to the public, and the two women were able to visit the town together for the first time.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17083\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17083\" style=\"width: 423px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17083\" src=\"https:\/\/chra.bard.edu\/files\/2024\/01\/Argyro_faculty-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"423\" height=\"633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bard.edu\/chra\/files\/2024\/01\/Argyro_faculty-scaled.jpeg 1710w, https:\/\/blogs.bard.edu\/chra\/files\/2024\/01\/Argyro_faculty-768x1150.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bard.edu\/chra\/files\/2024\/01\/Argyro_faculty-1026x1536.jpeg 1026w, https:\/\/blogs.bard.edu\/chra\/files\/2024\/01\/Argyro_faculty-1368x2048.jpeg 1368w, https:\/\/blogs.bard.edu\/chra\/files\/2024\/01\/Argyro_faculty-1320x1976.jpeg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 423px) 100vw, 423px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17083\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Nour Annan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unsettled is a lecture performance by scholar and filmmaker Argyro Nicolaou that explores the fast-changing landscapes of an island under occupation and her attempts to reconstruct her mother\u2019s past.
