Co-founded by Demet Müftüoğlu-Eseli and Alphan Eseli in late 2009, ISTANBUL’74 is a cross-disciplinary, creative entrepreneurship that provides an exemplary platform for cultural and artistic interchange between its hometown Istanbul and the world. The practice produces and hosts some of the most exciting art and culture events in the global calendar, including the annual Istanbul International Arts and Culture Festival – the IST. Festival.
The theme for this year’s festival, held in Rome, is ‘Self-Expression in the Post-Truth World’, which sets out to explore the ways in which changes in our surrounding habitats affect creative minds and artistic outputs. The festival is co-curated by Demet Müftüoğlu-Eseli, Alphan Eseli, Delfina Delettrez Fendi and Nico Vascellari.
