Istanbul Performance Art is the first international performance art platform in Turkey aiming to present performances and projects in associated artistic branches by embracing the performance art and interdisciplinary approach. The platform sets out to produce special projects, resources, and publications for those who study, teach, archive, write about, and make performance art; and to create innovations and diversity through the development of performance art. During certain periods Istanbul Performance Art hands over the management of the organisation to curators and art directors in order to develop new frameworks, and works strategically in cooperation with performance artists and organisations in every part of the culture sector.
