The Beyoglu Culture Route has sent Istanbulite movie buffs into a frenzy. The festival brings the world-renowned Stanley Kubrick Exhibition to the city where continents meet. And our producer Alican Pamir looks at how it's the perfect chance to go behind the smoke-screen of the Kubrick myth.

In the hustle and bustle of central Istanbul, the injustices caused by social, political, gender inequality or ecological reasons are the subject matter of an equally ambitiously titled exhibition `Life, Death, Love and Justice.` We asked the curator about the story behind the title, and this is what she had to say.

Istanbul's Beyoglu district has a new multi-purpose art space. And our producer Alican Pamir tells us how one of its occupants, the Dirimart Gallery, has recently unveiled its first exhibition.

We're at a time when the climate crisis looms upon us. It's in this atmosphere that the Sabanci Museum here in Istanbul has kicked off The Living Pyramid exhibition. And our producer Alican Pamir says the show's centerpiece is as much a social statement as it is art.

Istanbul's contemporary culture institution Salt has turned the dial back to the 1990s. And it's to put the spotlight on the performance arts of the era. It might have bits of reminiscence about it, but as our producer Alican Pamir explains, the event is actually a reflective analysis of the decade.

Myths talk about the zeitgeist of centuries ago. But an exhibition at Istanbul's Mesher Gallery has found a way to give a contemporary interpretation to an ancient tale. Our producer Alican Pamir has the story.
