CULTURAL RENEWAL - ISTANBUL

Cities have been at the heart of cultural innovation. They are&nbsp;where peoples from different cultures meet, mix and co-create but also where the material basis exists to fund key cultural institutions such as museums, galleries and theatres. These are the themes we explore in our new series – and where better to start than in&nbsp;Arter in Istanbul, where all this comes together. An amazing building,&nbsp;with a mission to promote contemporary world class art of all kind in a regenerating neighbourhood close to the centre of one of the great cities of the world, that is also a bridge between East and West at a crucial time. We explore all this with the founding director of Arter, Melih Fereli OBE and Kirsten Lees, Grimshaw’s managing partner for London , the architect who delivered on the vision of Arter’s patrons, the Koc Foundation.<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
