Psychedelic folk, rap, electronic underground... This next artist you`re about to meet has been sparkling in the Turkish music scene since the age of 18. Veyasin`s journey might have started in groovy, underground parties in Istanbul. But now he is a celebrated alternative musician playing for thousands of fans coming up with the hippest music projects in town and most recently composing for media giants like Netflix. We sent Showcase`s Sharaz Ali to find out more about this real cool cat.

Reaching for the stars. It's an ambitious plan, but one that Qatar wants to achieve. The goal is to become a world-class arts and culture destination. The National Museum of Qatar recently opened its doors a short distance from The Museum of Islamic Art. And with the capital, Doha, now also home to several public art installations, this gulf state is well on its way to becoming an art hub for locals and tourists alike. Showcase's Aadel Haleem explains.

One of New York City's most ambitious cultural institutions which took more than 10 years to create has finally opened its doors. "The Shed" is a marriage between public and private funds, boasting an eight-floor star-studded arts centre that will commission, develop and showcase works from all creative disciplines. But with a price tag as high as half a billion dollars, it has inevitably come with some controversy.

Some bands play a music genre, others define it. That's the case with Nirvana, the pioneering grunge band that skyrocketed to fame in the 1990s. It's hard to believe, but it's been 25 years since the group's iconic frontman Kurt Cobain passed away tragically at the age of 27. Here's what we gathered for you to commemorate his life and legacy.

Turkey has Europe's youngest population. And this bodes well in the world of art here. The scene is driven by young energy, with a good number of up and coming artists. Albeit many of them undiscovered. For those, one art fair happening in Istanbul is the perfect place to showcase their work; engage with the art world. Perhaps grab the chance to come into the limelight. Showcase's Nursena Tuter went to see what is in store at Mamut Art Fair.
