ABOUT

Co-founded by Demet Muftuoglu-Eseli and Alphan Eseli in late 2009, ISTANBUL’74 is a cross-disciplinary, creative entrepreneurship that provides an exemplary platform for cultural and artistic interchange between its hometown Istanbul and the world. The practice produces and hosts some of the most exciting art and culture events in the global calendar, including the annual Istanbul International Arts and Culture Festival – IST. Festival

Floating around the boundaries of art, fashion and design, ISTANBUL’74 serves as a hub for nurturing creativity and artistic collaboration to bring visionary talent and innovative brands together. Taking an unorthodox approach to attract new fields to expose creative work, the practice positions Istanbul as the centre stage for global events, and acts as the principal provider of international arts and culture activities in Turkey
