ANADOLU KÜLTÜR

Anadolu Kültür was founded as a not-for-profit cultural institution in 2002 when individuals from various fields in the art world, business world, and civil society came together to support the production and sharing of culture and art in cities across Turkey and abroad. Anadolu Kültür pursues its activities based on the belief that cultural and artistic exchange will help develop mutual understanding and dialogue, as well as overcome regional differences and prejudices. It also believes that a life enriched with culture will encourage discussions around concepts such as citizenship, identity, and belonging.

Anadolu Kültür aims to build bridges between different ethnic, religious, and regional groups by sharing culture and art, supporting regional initiatives, emphasizing cultural education and cultural rights, and establishing interregional collaboration. With a dream of a society that has managed to shed its prejudices, that finds nourishment and enrichment through differences, and where cultural diversity is not perceived as a source of conflict but wealth, Anadolu Kültür works in the following areas through local and international collaborations:
