HUB IDEA
Created through the joint initiatives of Galimi Çınarlı Rural Development and Tourism Association, geared towards the promotion of local production and island culture on Marmara Island, and Adalar Vakfı, a foundation for the protection and preservation of the historic, cultural and natural assets of the Princes’ Islands of Istanbul, Adadayız* offers a collaborative space in which island organisations can join forces to share information and explore common issues including identity, social and cultural transformations, and migration. In line with this vision, the hub’s activities focus on island cultures, artistic expressions, and responses to crises through online and face-to-face events and communication. The hub strives to weave an Island Network to draw together researchers and organisations. Coordinated by the Galimi Çınarlı Association, the initiative celebrates the resilience of island life and its unique responses to challenges such as the mucilage crisis and the pandemic, as well as various aspects of sustainability.* Literally, “we’re here, on the island”
