Constantinopoliad backdrop

Constantinopoliad 2025 Directed by Sister Sylvester , Nadah El Shazly

Created by Sister Sylvester and Nadah El Shazly, Constantinopoliad is a collective reading and audio work. A response to the archive of the poet Constantine Cavafy, the story is inspired by the blank and torn out pages in “Constantinopoliad, an epic”, the journal the teenage Cavafy began when he and his family fled Alexandria; by lost and missing queer archives through time; and by the ghosts, both erotic and historical, that visit the older Cavafy in his poems.
