Katadrom Art, Culture and
​Social Politic Association


Art Colony is the result of 8 years of experience of Katadrom Association
Katadrom Arts, Culture and Social Politics Association is a non-profit organization that was founded by a group of activists, artists, organizers, filmmakers, designers, translators, photographers and academics to make national and international projects and education activities on cultur, art and social policies .

In Katadrom Association, the concepts of culture, art and social policy are considered as a whole, not separately, and activities and trainings are formed with this holistic view. In its projects, which can be grouped under various headings such as festivals, youth camps, art workshops, film days and educational programs, Katadrom saw the concepts of women's rights, gender equality, anti-discrimination, protection of vulnerable groups and the culture of coexistence not only as a priority but as a main issue.
After eight years that has been full of activities, trainings and festivals, Katadrom Association now wishes to expand its working area along with the network it has created with its friends, solution partners, supporters and hundreds of people who attended to its events and trainings.

​
Art Colony is a direct result of this wish. 

 

WHAT WE WILL DO IN
​ART COLONY

Art Colony will be a project based art and cultur center. It aims to create a working environment and organize trainings and activities for individuals and organizations that make projects and produce works in every field of art and culture, especially on cinema.

We have partners and supporters as individuals and organisations from Turkey, several countries in Europe such as Portugal, France, Germany and Bulgaria, and also from countries in Asia like Iran, Endonesia and Pakistan.
