Escape From Civilization - DISTANCE AND CONTACT

Distance and Contact
@Baksı Museum

"Distance and Contact" consists of four main sections. The exhibit’s design department Faruk Malhan, the fashion department Arzu Kaprol, the food culture department Engin Akın and the art department were prepared by Fırat Arapoğlu, Mürteza Fidan and Kurucu Koçanoğlu, who also determined the general frame of the exhibition. Ayşegül Sönmez, Emre Zeytinoğlu and Hüsamettin Koçan undertook activity consultancy for the project. "Distance and Contact" aims to transform the distance created by migrants living in major cities and the resulting cultural breaks into an encounter. The theme of this project is to bring local and contemporary know-how together and to renew and replicate production and employment opportunities for the region. In all this, the goal is to revive the production and employment opportunities in Bayburt's villages and towns, to revitalize the lost professions like weaving and carpentry. The exhibition aims to support the creative and productive aspects of the women in the region in particular.
