bi’bak engages itself in a variety of sociopolitical issues like migration, discourses on mobility, constructions of identities, consumerism, labor and cultural memories. A special focus is laid thereby on the aesthetic dimension. Interdisciplinary projects shall offer alternative perspectives and initiate new discourses in current debates that more than often seem to be repetitive and gridlocked. The critical intercourse with media, globalization and neoliberalism means a key aspect of this engagement.
bi’bak’s program intersects the diverse disciplines of art, science and community development, and includes exhibitions, film screenings, workshops as well as leisurely music events and entertaining culinary excursions.
bi’bak is very much interested in the development of innovative and locally grounded concepts of communicating and imparting, which equal participation and the exchange of ideas, knowledge and creativity.
bi’bak aims at transnational collaborations with cultural actors, project spaces and initiatives. Starting from interdisciplinary collaborations between Berlin and Istanbul we want to tie an international network in order to exchange, ideas, experiences and know-how. We believe in a decentralised and rhizomatic connection between art, design, sciences, participation, urban/ public space and local activism.
We have several projects which intersect with the the values of the Foundation. We aim to devellop intercultural dialogue across Europe and mainly with turkey to realize our mainly interdisciplinary projects. Our projects in the fields of education for intercultural citizenship and our intercultural artistic co-productions with our turkish partner organisations would coresspond very well with the aims of ALF networks.
