Anadolu Kültür
Anadolu Kültür was founded in 2002 to support the production and sharing of culture and art across Turkey and neighbouring regions. For more than 20 years, it has used cultural and artistic exchange to foster mutual understanding and dialogue, overcome prejudices, and encourage critical discussions around identity, belonging, freedom of expression, and social and ecological justice. It contributes to the democratisation of culture and art by expanding access to cultural rights, strengthening collaboration and solidarity, supporting alternative artistic production, and connecting culture with different areas of rights. Anadolu Kültür also runs Depo, a space for culture, arts and critical debate in Istanbul, and maintains a presence in Diyarbakır through its representative.
