The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation has been partnering with Anadolu Kültür for several years, and is now working with the well-respected cultural institution to establish an artistic exchange programme – called Future of Future – to engage young Armenian and Turkish creators. The selected artists will be invited to imagine society’s future through their joint artistic creations, which will then be displayed in various exhibitions.

Please note that, unfortunately, the artistic exchange programme Future of Future has been postponed. 

Anadolu Kültür was founded by Mr. Osman Kavala in 2002. While his imprisonment has been a major setback for Anadolu Kültür, we are pleased to note that the organisation is continuing with many of its activities with local and international support.

The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation has been collaborating with Anadolu Kültür and Osman Kavala since 2010. Find out some of the projects we have supported by viewing the short video with João Saavedra (responsible for our Armenian-Turkish initiatives) as part of the “What did Kavala do?” initiative created by “Artists United for Osman Kavala”.
