Culture & Tourism Activities

Culture Culture

Our Culture and Tourism tent features lectures and demonstrations by recognized experts in Turkish art, history, culture, and cuisine. In the culture tent, we showcase works of artists and styles of artwork that are unique and under-represented, like miniature art, paper marbling, tile-making, and calligraphy. We feature award winning independent documentaries made by Turkish directors on a variety of topics, including the evolution of hip-hop dance in Turkey, and the life of second generation Turks in the U.S. and Europe.
