Kevork Malikyan'ın 50. sanat yılı bir dizi etkinlikle kutlandı
The Hrant Dink Foundation envisions the field of culture and arts as a plural, inclusive and participative platform. The Foundation primarily believes in perceiving the diverse cultures of Turkey, not as objects of nostalgia to be remembered, but as a richness still alive today that will be passed down from generation to generation. When the contribution of each diverse element to the collective memory is remembered by giving it a name; the spaces of co-existence can be formed, by sharing and creating together.
You can virtually visit the exhibition ‘Coulisse: Hagop Ayvaz, A Chronicler of Theater’ which is based on the personal theatre archive of an Istanbulite theater player and publisher Hagop Ayvaz and shed light on the theater history of Turkey within the context of collective memory, identity, and space.
The personal archive of Armenian actor, director, writer and publisher Hagop Ayvaz encompasses a period spanning from the mid-19th century, when first attempts for theatrical productions were made, till the beginning of the 21 st century.
