Overview

In 2009, Cihangir Beautification Association from Istanbul and Kolonie Wedding from Berlin organised an artist exchange project. Titled as Amongst Neighbours 01 and realized under the main sponsorship of Istanbul 2010 European Capital of Culture Agency, the project brought together artists from Cihangir and Mitte neighbourhoods of two cities who hosted each other for three weeks in two gatherings. While working on concepts of neighbourliness and foreignness, they questioned the bridges they built with each other and their vague relations with their own neighbours.
