Stephanie Lemesianou

Stephanie Lemesianou is a multimedia storyteller born and raised in Nicosia, Cyprus, known as the last divided capital of the world. Experienced in communications, journalism and film production, she strives to share what is true and human. She graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in Film and Television and is now pursuing an MA in Journalism (News and Documentary) from the Arthur L. Carter Institute at New York University. Over the years, she has also gained work experience in talent management, social media and public relations. As a former member of the European Youth Parliament, Stephanie was introduced to the work of global organizations and international affairs at a young age, which is what sparked her passion for human rights. She has worked for organizations such as Visual Voices and the Anna Lindh Foundation, on projects that advocate for intercultural relations, gender equality and peacebuilding. Stephanie hopes to continue her journey in artistic activism and to investigate through different mediums how the personal story can be universal.
