The first session, “Duyarlı, Spontane ve Tehlikeli” (Sensitive, Spontaneous and Dangerous), brought together collaborators of Hüseyin Katırcıoğlu’s Assos Gösteri Sanatları Festivali (Assos Performing Arts Festival), a festival that transformed the ancient site of Assos and the village of Behramkale into a stage in the latter half of the decade. Participants reflected on site-specific working methods, collaborative production, and the relationships forged with local communities.
The second session, “Performans yapmak ya da yapmamak: İşte bütün mesele bu!” (To Perform or Not to Perform: That Is the Question!), gathered the founding members of Disiplinlerarası Genç Sanatçılar Derneği and architects of the Performans Günleri (Performance Days) events, to discuss the possibilities performance opened up in the 1990s art scene and what those ruptures mean in retrospect.
