Artistic Approaches on Ecological Repair
ALLIANZ FOUNDATION
CLIMATE CULTURES CALL | 2023
With our project, we aimed to be a driving force for collaborations arising from new encounters focused on climate change, striving to create a new and inclusive narrative about sustainability that encompasses all living beings. The project focuses on Nesin Villages, which already host new generations on a cyclical basis each year and carry the potential to create social impact.
Together on a Treshold:

SAHA X CULTURE CIVIC | 2023
The workshop's goal is to create a co-production space where young artists and curators can develop by learning together and from each other, open up communication possibilities for sustainable relationships, and collectively discuss issues in the field. We hosted Bige Örer, Çelenk Bafra, Elif Öner, Evrim Kavcar, Işın Önol, Kevser Güler, and Öykü Özsoy in Nesin Villages!
