Spaces of Culture

“They are the ones who strive to create spaces of culture and art. Whether firmly rooted in the center of the public consciousness or lingering on the periphery, they traffic in the creative spirit beyond prescriptive or familiar practices. They produce, reimagine and subvert — not in pursuit of profit but of viability and independence. The engaging, inventive and bold cultural actors that hail from every corner of the country — from Istanbul to Izmir, Ankara to Diyarbakır and beyond — talk about how and why they have established and sustained such an inspiring movement in their cities.”
