Arada will took place in Istanbul between 25th-28th May 2011 for five days and the second part of the festival was on in Vienna between 25th-28th November.Third festival will be in İstanbul again between 31th May and 3th June. in 2012 we will start to make festival between Amsterdam and İstanbul also. And in 2013 our aim to spread festival to mediterrenean cities which are Chario and Beirut. This 2013 project includes six cities. Three European cities (Amsterdam, Berlin, Vienna) and three mediterrenean cities (Istanbul, Chario, Beirut).
The main aim of the festival is bringing the young artists together from different art disciplines and from different cultures.
Between cultures and different art disciplines
Arada is a festival that have been founded with young artists from different countries and different disciplines (visual arts, dance, writing, drama…) and young participants who work in these fields. The second part of festival will take place in Vienna, so the festival aims to be a bridge between these two cities.
Looking For
The festival aims to bring together young artists who are in process and searching for new perspectives on their art.
arAda doesn’t present a viewpoint which stick between things or undecided between things but presents a supplemental viewpoint which combines and includes everything
Goals Of arAda
To catch the young artists who couldn’t get the chance for exhibiting their works, work in process and to present an opportunity to show their works.
Arada
To create a platform that provides a transition and relationship between different art disciplines.
To create an environment for sharing ideas by gathering young artists from different countries.
To ensoul the areas which lose their function and have historic and industrial value, with art.
To provide a meeting point and an interactive environment for young artists.
International Festivals and artists partnerships from different cultures, and residencies are our main projects in interdisciplinary platforms. We use all kind of art disciplines(dance, theater, visual arts,paintings,performances etc.) to meet with communities.
And this year we take a fashion part in Arada to reach more people. To make festival between fashion and art will be good experience for us as an interdisciplinarity.
Arada brings together different art disciplines and artists. This make possible to meet new people and projects all the time. We can contribute to spreading of this network and to provide a place for artists and art managhers to share their ideas and performances in an interdisciplinary area. The collobration wit ALS can be seen our webpage of festival and also our school webpage and the internet areas(facebook,twitter etc.) which we use for our advertisement. Then it can be also visible for our another connections(partnerships,collobration,art centers and sponsors)
Our main aim to reach young artists from different cultures and bring them together to work and create and discuss about art. Istanbul is a center of festival will be connected to different cities in the world. We started from Vienna we go on with Amsterdam and next year we would like to go on with Mediterrenean cities like Beirut and Chairo. So we would like to join ALF network to establish partnerships, to reach artists and art managers in these countries. We would like to share our experiences, our ideas and activities.
