Tarabya Cultural Academy
The Cultural Academy was set up in 2011 on the initiative of the German Bundestag with the aim of promoting cultural exchange between Turkey and Germany. Since the first fellowship recipients moved in, over a hundred outstanding artists and cultural professionals have worked on their projects on the grounds of the historic summer residence of the German ambassador, including the writer Lucy Fricke, the composer Cymin Samawatie and the visual artist Philipp Lachenmann.
