The Venue
Private Vessel — Bosphorus, Istanbul
A privately commissioned vessel fitted with acoustic panels and intimate seating for sixteen. The programme changes seasonally, always featuring works with a connection to Istanbul's cultural memory.
This experience exists within the cultural world of Istanbul, where the Bosphorus has been the stage for empire, trade, and artistic expression for millennia. The waters that carry this vessel have witnessed Byzantine ceremonies, Ottoman commerce, and the continuous reinvention of a city that refuses to be singular — Istanbul.
