Ben Eastham, the London-based art critic and editor with The White Review and the art-agenda will be in Istanbul to lead the Arts and Culture Writing Workshop for emerging visual art writers that The British Council is organising with the support of Mixer during the Istanbul Biennial.
Ben Eastham will also be in a public talk with artist Merve Ünsal who is also the founding editor of the artist-driven online publishing initiative m-est.org. Eastham and Ünsal will talk about art writing as a professional practice and as an entrepreneurial approach. This talk is a part of the 15th Istanbul Biennial Neighbour Events.
Free of admissions, drop in. This event will take place in the auditorium. The talk will be in English and Turkish with simultaneous translation.
This event is presented in collaboration with the British Council.

Is Istanbul a single city? Will Istanbul too, be one day one day divided into different sections, and numbered like the arrondisements of Paris? These are tough questions indeed!
Three figures in Eastern dress are shown in repose against an exotic landscape, smoking pipes and playing mangala. Inventories of the royal collections from 1739 identify the members of this group as the royal eunuch Matthias and two odalisques.
