The Princes Islands are sacred grounds for all Istanbulites. They are some of the few breathing spaces we have left in our city. We all visit them once or twice a year to bike or walk around and to get some fresh air. This year, from September 1-6, the first annual Adalar Sokak Festivali (“Islands Street Festival”) will be held in Büyükada and Burgazada. Will we have fun? Yes! But more importantly it will raise awareness on the islands’ ecological and cultural values and issues, draw attention to the problems that threaten the islands, and showcase temporary and permanent artwork. The festival will include dance performances, exhibitions (of photography, painting, and sculpture), art workshops, night tours, concerts, and much more.
All events throughout the festival are free. Further details on events and locations can be found here.
If you want to be a part of next year’s festival, write a handwritten letter about your island dream and mail it to Plumon Art of Writing Çınar Cad. N0: 79 PK: 34970 Büyükada / Adalar – Istanbul. You may get the chance to have your letter exhibited in next year’s festival.
