bi’bak engages itself in a variety of sociopolitical issues like migration, discourses on mobility, constructions of identities, consumerism, labor and cultural memories. A special focus is laid thereby on the aesthetic dimension. Interdisciplinary projects shall offer alternative perspectives and initiate new discourses in current debates that more than often seem to be repetitive and gridlocked. The critical intercourse with media, globalization and neoliberalism means a key aspect of this engagement.Main Projects / Activities

bi’bak aims at transnational collaborations with cultural actors, project spaces and initiatives. Starting from interdisciplinary collaborations between Berlin and Istanbul we want to tie an international network in order to exchange, ideas, experiences and know-how. We believe in a decentralised and rhizomatic connection between art, design, sciences, participation, urban/ public space and local activism.Why do you want to join the ALF Network?
We have several projects which intersect with the the values of the Foundation. We aim to devellop intercultural dialogue across Europe and mainly with turkey to realize our mainly interdisciplinary projects. Our projects in the fields of education for intercultural citizenship and our intercultural artistic co-productions with our turkish partner organisations would coresspond very well with the aims of ALF networks.
