As is often the case with former colonies, the visual communication language of Cyprus evolved as a pastiche of historical advances, past colonial “debris” and trends, xenomania, and local idioms. Independence in 1960 transformed and enriched its local visual identity. ‘The Simonis’ engages the largely unexplored history of visual communication in Cyprus by focusing on the graphic design archive of George Simonis (1934–2021). This includes his personal work as a designer in Cyprus from the 1960s until the end of the 20th century. The book connects Cyprus to the broader international graphic design conversation, while also serving as a scrapbook of shared memories.
