100th anniversary

Franz Kafka

2024 marks the 100th anniversary of Franz Kafka's death. What makes the Prague writer still relevant and exciting for us today? The Goethe-Institut Cyprus is shedding light on various facets of the person and using the anniversary as an opportunity to reflect on Kafka's work. Various events await you in Nicosia, Limassol and Paphos, which will open up new ways of approaching the author and his work: From film screenings and exhibitions to a competition and a video game.
