Dear Funda, Bike and Yesim,
this is grand news.
Having community locals expands diversity, one of the prerequisites for
an open space gathering.
How about inviting Serdil Dara Odabasi welcoming folks gathering in his
district?
Greetings from Berlin

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Please note that we have changed the venue for WOSonOS Istanbul and
updated our web page accordingly: _https://wosonos2024.istanbul/_
The new venue "Alan Kadıköy" is a new performance centre that belongs
to Kadiköy Municipality. One of the reasons for moving WOSONOS 2024
there is that the name of this beautiful performance center is already
"Alan" meaning "Space".
Kadikoy (Chalcedon) Coast is easily accessible from the venue
(Chalcedon is the first settlement founded by the Greeks of Megara on
the Bosphorus in 685 BC). Kadıköy and especially Yeldeğirmeni, with
many bars, cinemas, restaurants and bookstores, is a residential and
commercial district, the liberal cultural center of the Anatolian side
of Istanbul. Please note that Conservative Parties have never won in
this area.
We think that this modern, brand new events center will add meaning
and importance to WOSonOS especially following the loss of Harrison.
It offers a comfortable and safe space suitable for up to 300 people.
We also hope that through this event, we will be able to send a
message to local authorities about participatory approaches. Another
characteristic of this neighborhood is that despite this rapidly
changing city, there are self organized solidarity movements who are
trying to protect their living spaces and valleys (unfortunately a few
green spaces left in Istanbul) and who are in cooperation with the
Local Municipality. We are planning to invite them to WOSonOS 2024 to
enable participants to feel connected to what is happening locally.
And last but not least for today I would like to share with you a song
from a kurdish,turkish, danish singer with their group
about Istanbul:

Have a wonderful week!
