HUB IDEA
SARP (Samanlı ART and PROTECTION), composed of Kayınormanı Association and Çıplak Ayaklar Kumpanyası (ÇAK), endeavours to deepen their understanding of their rural environment. By collaborating with experts, they collect data on local flora, forest science, medicinal plants, and mushroom diversity. This knowledge is shared with the community, fostering a connection between art and nature. SARP’s activities aim to encourage dialogue on environmental conservation, sustainability, and the fusion of art and nature, inspiring positive change and a commitment to the natural world.Istanbul

Kayınormanı Association was established in 2022 by nature lovers living in rural neighbourhoods within the borders of Bursa, Iznik in the Samanlı Mountains, and the headquarters of the association is located in the Kırıntı neighbourhood of Iznik. Our association was established to work for the protection and development of the plant and animal biodiversity living together with the pure and mixed beech forests and tree communities of other species in the geography of the Samanlı Mountains of the Marmara Region.
Expectations from Transnational Exchange
Our primary intention is to expand our network of sustainability, art, and nature. Therefore, obtaining concrete data and drawing upon prior experiences are two important steps for us. We would like to learn from other communities, sustainable projects, and productions inspired by the wholeness of nature and are not solely human-centered, particularly in rural areas around different geographies. We believe we can reach beyond our horizons through VAHA's network.Our long-term wish is to open the space for mutual communication. We will be happy to establish further connections to invite experts, researchers, and creators into our space as well as visit theirs for any possibilities of collaboration/productions. On the whole, VAHA's support will help us understand our region and its necessities better, which in the end will enable us to present our resources better to the artists, academicians, and residents of the region. We are looking forward to the opportunities that VAHA will create for us!
