About the exhibition:<\/p>\n

Within the scope of its 10th year anniversary celebrations, Istanbul Modern presents Neighbours \u2013 Contemporary Narratives from Turkey and Beyond<\/em>, an exhibition that investigates contemporary art practices in Turkey and the surrounding region. The exhibition brings together artists from neighboring geographies that have historical, political, and cultural ties with Turkey including the Balkans, the Caucasus, and the Middle East, etc.<\/p>\n

Neighbours<\/em> explores practices that relate to social life in the public space, such as spectacles and ceremonies, and the way these have seeped into today’s visual arts. The exhibition focuses on two aspects that are ingrained in the region\u2019s cultural weave: narratives and travel. These dovetail into a number of works tangent to themes such as mobility, nomadism, odysseys, language, and translation, and cultural transmission, etc.<\/p>\n

Neighbours<\/em> features visual artworks, as well as performance and spectacles, including extensions of disciplines that have developed outside the academic circles of art, such as political cartoons and folk art. Paradigms of this wide region’s layered narrative traditions are shadow theater, the a\u015f\u0131ks (travelling bards), and the meddahs (public storytellers) of old, whose voice, in a new form, still echoes in the work of artists today.<\/p>\n

Istanbul Modern hosts 35 artists from 17 countries and a program of special events\u2013 screenings, performances, workshops, talks and panel discussions \u2013 dedicated to the region\u2019s art and culture. Come Again?<\/em> video program is on view in a dedicated room in the exhibition hall as part of Neighbours<\/em>.<\/p>\n
