‘Moussem Cities: Istanbul’

In Moussem Cities, Moussem and its partners in Brussels set their sights on a metropolis with a rich and culturally varied history whose artistic dynamic plays a vital role. After previous editions about Casablanca, Beirut and Teheran, 2025 focuses on Istanbul. Throughout a history full of transformations, from Constantinople to a metropolis at the intersection of two continents, Istanbul has kept its role as a place of inspiration with a grandiose aura. That cultural influence has been under political pressure for some time. At Bozar, the multidisciplinary festival Moussem Cities presents three days of films, concerts and installations that draw attention to lively artistic creations with a link to Istanbul.
