This Corner Pro meeting aims to open common and positive thought process on issues artists from Turkey and the region have to face, should they be artistic, political, social or cultural. This meeting should eventually be a real lab providing space and time for dialogue but also inspiration to open new visions on innovative and creative possibilities.
