In the first podcast episode of the exhibition Istanbul as Far as the Eye Can See, Emre Aracı and Şeyda Çetin discuss Istanbul landscapes in the works of 19th-century European composers. The conversation invites us to reflect on the diversity of representations of Istanbul through the lens of music, as we encounter the breezes and landscapes of the city that have inspired the musical compositions and artwork featured on music sheet covers.

In the latest episode of podcast, Dr. İlker Hepkaner and Ebru Esra Satıcı explore the art of John Craxton through a queer perspective, drawing inspiration from the John Craxton: Drawn to Light exhibition. They invite us to get to know both the concept and Craxton on a deeper level.

In this episode of our podcast, Fatih Özgüven and the curator of the exhibition, Selen Ansen, engage in a discussion inspired by the artwork 'False Twins'.

The exhibition’s title I Am Nobody. Are You Nobody Too? is liberally inspired by Emily Dickinson’s poem I Am Nobody! Who Are You? This first line of the poem, published posthumously in 1891, vocalizes a vagrant verbalism wandering between two ambiguous points.  In this episode of our podcast, Yusuf Eradam and Meşher’s teammate Şeyda Çetin discuss Emily Dickinson’s works.
