Modus Operandi
Magnus Tempus 360, embraces a multifaceted approach that celebrates the boundless potential of creative expression. Our core philosophy is rooted in the belief that artistic exploration is most profound when it transcends traditional boundaries and fosters an open exchange of ideas. To achieve this, we’ve carefully designed our platform to facilitate collaboration, innovation, and cross-disciplinary dialogue.
Spearheaded by Visionary Leadership
Magnus Tempus 360 is spearheaded by Halime Özdemir-Larusso, the multi-award-winning producer and artistic director of Producer 360—an acclaimed network of cultural producers specialising in high-profile collaborations across visual arts, film, performance, and fashion. This platform embodies her multidisciplinary and holistic outlook, bridging the many facets of her creative vision to engage artists and thinkers in meaningful discourse within the countries she loves and cherishes.

Central to our methodology is the creation of environments that inspire and nurture creativity. Our biannual Residency Programme, set against the serene backdrops of Larnaca’s rugged hills and Limassol’s majestic mountains, exemplifies this. These immersive residencies provide artists, filmmakers, writers, and cultural thinkers with the freedom to explore their craft, engage in meaningful dialogue, and cultivate new partnerships.
We believe that creativity flourishes best when exposed to new contexts and perspectives. This belief extends to our engagements in Nicosia, where participants are welcomed into a vibrant urban art scene that pulses with innovation and a dynamic spirit. These interactions with local creators and thought leaders are designed to deepen participants' understanding of different cultural narratives and stimulate fresh artistic output.

Magnus Tempus 360 is not just about bringing individuals together but about weaving them into the larger tapestry of interconnected cultural histories. The bridge between Cyprus and Italy, embodied by our upcoming sister programmes in Rome, speaks to the centuries-old dialogue between these two storied regions. This connection underscores our mission to reignite the cultural exchanges that have historically fuelled artistic evolution.

True to our ethos, we welcome the artist’s role as a provocateur—one who challenges norms, questions the status quo, and inspires others to think beyond the conventional. We recognise the transformative power of artistic provocation, not as a disruption for its own sake but as a tool for genuine cultural and personal growth. Our programmes are designed to support this type of bold exploration, encouraging participants to push their boundaries and explore new thematic territories.

With decades of combined experience, our team has contributed to hundreds of projects, exhibitions, films, and publications. These achievements are more than milestones; they represent the seeds of potential that, when brought together through Magnus Tempus 360, grow into sustained creative ecosystems. The platform is dedicated to everything that goes beyond the familiar—it is where the real journey begins.
