Tophane Cultural Route – Hâne Exhibition | Yücel Cultural Foundation

Tophane Cultural Route – Hâne Exhibition
A walk through the heart of the city, in the footsteps of history.

We are setting out on a journey through history in the heart of the city. Together with Yücel Cultural Foundation Culture and Arts Club, we will walk along a cultural route stretching from the narrow streets of Tophane to the Bosphorus. On this discovery walk, we will experience the district’s historical layers, architectural texture, and cultural memory on site, accompanied by the Hâne Exhibition.

Throughout the walk, we will discuss the stories Tophane has carried from past to present, its transformation processes, and everyday life practices. By treating the exhibition space as a narrative field, we will explore the relationship between art and the city. Enriched by participants’ observations and contributions, this event aims to develop a way of seeing the city not only as spectators, but as readers and interpreters.

ℹ️ Registration is required to participate in the event.
