ArthereIstanbul

ArthereIstanbul aims to provide a creative space for exiled Syrian artists who face difficulties resulting from their forced departure from their home country.

With its activities Arthereistanbul tries to create an alternative culture and art space where Syrians, Arabs, artists from Turkey, and artists of other backgrounds can get to know one another, exchange ideas and work together and to encourage dialogue which involves them and the rest of the world.

Our artists are strong together. Here we get ready for one of the exhibitions we have participated in Istanbul. Preparations are going very well and the spirit is high.

Homemade Radio show experience with Aline Pénitot (Paris/France) – radio producer, electroacoustic composer with some of ArthereIstanbul artists in Istanbul, away from Damascus.

What is close, what is far. A way to make relationships between people from a little town in France (Guebwiller-Alsace) and a hudge metropolis in Istanbul. Come with your own story, a smell, an object, a sound object, a picture, a poem, a text, an idea, a desire, or a souvenir about what is far, what is close.
