1 - Authors of the Estate Documentary. Premiered October 2025
From council houses to publishing houses — the story of a North West London neighbourhood rewriting itself.
This powerful documentary tells the story of how a North West London neighbourhood turned council houses into publishing houses - transforming lived experience into literature and rewriting how the world sees them, and how they see themselves.
A journey behind the 200-page book that began on the St. Raphael's Estate, then the Chalkhill Estate and went on to achieve national recognition - now brought to life in film.

Abstract:
It is now more than 50 years since the beginning of the intercommunal conflicts, war in Cyprus, the subsequent division of the island, and the establishment of a situation termed ‘the Cyprus problem. ’This state of affairs is represented only at high-level political discussions and negotiations, ignoring Cypriots ’ lived experiences and personal histories. Multilayered dissonances drive the political narratives, while the problems of a traumatized people have been largely neglected. Trauma resulting from conflict, loss and displacement is a daily reality for both communities in Cyprus (Demetriou & Skotinou, 2018), and only recently has research begun to address the effects of these traumatic experiences on the Cypriot people (Volkan E. & Hadjimarkou, 2019).

Final Deliverable posters each dedicated to a different indentity of refugee and a different journey.
After an in-depth focus group and a series of one to one interviews with selected research participants from a diverse group of refugees employed across various sectors in Cyprus, our team developed a set of narratives and information that made it to the posters’ storyline.
The awareness campaign poster series created by our leading designer Andriana Lagoudes will be revealed to the public for the first time. This poster campaign aims to raise awareness, advocating for the labour rights of various refugee and migrant demographics and is intended to provoke important discussions on such critical issues on the frontline of migration politics. After the reveal event the poster campaign will be placed all around the streets of Nicosia, extending the conversation to the general public and allowing the posters to create ripples to the city's urban narrative.

6 - Sound-Walking: We are Not Ghosts
Poetry Sound Walk by Nafia Akdeniz, produced by D6:EU. Visual Storytelling by Andriana Lagoudes, archival designs, project visual identity and direction and editing of poem videos.
A poetic walk into Varosha’s public spaces and memory, through narratives of forced displacement and desire of return, with the poems of Nafia Akdeniz. This poetry-based interactive sound walk draws on Akdeniz’s ethnographic research on Varosha narratives and is experienced as an immersive audio environment, on location and online in three languages: Turkish, Greek, English.
Sound-Walk is a collaborative work of the poet Nafia Akdeniz, curator Alessandro Vincentelli, cultural director Argyro Toumazou, sound designer Inal Bilsel, visual designer Andriana Lagoudes, and application developer Redif Ekinci. The project is produced by D6:EU, a visual arts organisation based in Cyprus, developing new opportunities for artists and cultural collaborations in Cyprus, Europe and the Middle East.
This program was funded by the European Union under the small grants programme of BCASA Project. Its contents are the sole responsibility of D6:EU and Nafia Akdeniz and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Union.
7 - Can you introduce myself?
Essay-Documentary, 11min04, August 2019, NYC
Dir: Andriana Lagoudes, Ibrahim Cissé
Can you introduce myself? is a visual essay that came out of an encounter between Andriana Lagoudes and Ibrahim Cissé. The pair spontaneously addressed the potential for post-nation states to be a potent answer for a sustainable collective future by questioning the brief at the root.
Can a revolution take place if it does not start with the self? Who is the self? Can we learn about it through others? How much do we understand it? And how much do we actually really understand each other? These questions led to more, and escalated to highlight the fundamental and urgent issue of global governance and mass movements. Wandering in the streets of New-York City, Andriana and Ibrahim weaved their daily visual and sonic findings and edited the reflections that stemmed out of it into a collage. The result is an 11 minutes stream of thoughts, flowing from the river to the ocean, a film showcasing moments of doubts and clarity, two opposing languages attempting to find peace and at last, a glimpse of surrender.
8 - Get Uncomfortable, Visual Essay
Visual Essay, Nicosia Cyprus 2020
Written and Directed: Andriana Lagoudes
Sound: Stelios Antoniou
A visual essay acts as a showcase of the process undertaken by the artist to stay sane during the first lockdown. Going for walks with her camera everyday to stay disciplined and peaceful. Did she manage to come out the other end alright?

A Service Design project by Comuzi for Southwark Council
A Service Design project by Comuzi for Southwark Council
Head Designer: Andriana Lagoudes

Collection Lookbook - Title page spread
Philosophical Concept Development, Menswear Collection, September 2016 - June 2017, Brighton
Designer & Creative Director: Andriana Lagoudes
An evolution from the physical hardships of the everyday, to the moment in time where fundamental needs are being addressed and understood. The collection is attempting to depict the journey of a resourceful man who is working his way through life, from a reference of field workers, to understand his rawest personal needs to reach an enlightened state, inspired by the lives of Tibetan Buddhist monks.
A functionally modest approach is the essence of the collection, reflected by the simplicity of workwear garments from the aspects of both humble peasant wear and serene nomadic monk clothing.
Down to Your Rawness depicts the enlightenment of man through rehearsal of the self in everyday activities.

Lacking in weight, layering and functionality the purpose of the outfits is instead found internally, allowing the corresponding garments to be free from physical obligations and embracing of new ideas of contentment and self-acceptance. The comfortability provided by workwear is authentically represented throughout the collection.
From utility workwear to basic undergarments, the collection is expressing a humble idiom in the language of urban clothing. An interesting mixture of unconventional plastics with beautiful satins, highlight the romanticism of how crude allotments may look in contrast to what they represent.

The exploration of tent fabrics, vegetable sacks, rusted samples and second-hand plastics work towards depicting the resourcefulness required by the man of this collection. As the evolution of the collection develops, simple pieces mature with the inclusion of intricate details. A closer look into allotments, through the medium of photography puts emphasis on the textural approach translated in fabric qualities and enriched fastening details – a reminder that everything stems from primary rawness. Fastenings found in allotments inspire the development of signature detailing of the collection which are translated into fastening, cuffs and belts.
This menswear collection intends to relieve the wearer from narratives that are not his.
