Arada Derneği

Overview

Arada means ‘in-between’ in Turkish and it is the name that had been chosen for the annual festival that happened in 2011. The idea stemmed from an interest in creating art that is not fixed but constantly in movement. The ‘in-between’ state also constitutes an important research area, at the intersection of art and social work: they indeed believe that both art and social structures are fluid and constantly changing; influenced by factors such as time, location and culture reflecting the Evaluation of individuals themselves. 

The ‘Arada Manifesto’ aims to create a bridge between art disciplines and social sciences, with the ultimate objective to create a practical platform for impactful use of art in social projects. Arada Association brings interdisciplinary models together that can be used not only in moments of social crisis but also in the field of personal development and especially in the business world in areas like corporate communications. Arada Team has 15 years' experience of artistic work with disabled people, immigrants and refugees, as well as socio-philosophical research conducted annually with artists during the “Arada Interdisciplinary Arts Festival”.
