Yedikule Fortress, one of the important symbols of Istanbul's historical and cultural heritage, is becoming the focal point of the art world thanks to the 3rd Yeditepe Biennial. Meticulous work continues in the towers and dome-tents to create a historical atmosphere unique to the biennial.

The 3rd Yeditepe Biennial invites art lovers to a meeting full of joy again this year. Yedikule Fortress, one of the most important parts of Istanbul's historical texture, is among the most striking spots of the biennial. The intensive preparations in the historical towers and the dome-tents prepared as event spaces aim to preserve the historical value of the venue and to host works of art at the same time.

While detailed arrangements are being made for the artefacts to be exhibited in the towers, areas where exhibitions and events will be held in the dome-tents are being designed. Technical details such as infrastructure works, lighting arrangements and space design are carefully carried out to offer the best experience to visitors. Each tower is planned to host a different work of art; thus, visitors have the opportunity to meet with art in the depths of history.

The biennial events at Yedikule Fortress are not limited to the exhibition of art. This area stands out as a meeting point for those who want to experience art, participate in interactive activities that bring together the past and the present, and integrate with art in a historical place.

While the theme of this year's biennial is to discover the common stories of art and history, Yedikule Fortress draws attention as one of the areas where this theme will be felt most strongly. The works to be exhibited in the towers of the historical building bring together the universal messages of art with the mute witnesses of history.

The team aims to preserve the architectural texture of Yedikule Fortress while making room for the creative touches of art. In this context, the towers are organised to host site-specific art projects.

The biennial, which appeals to both the local people of Istanbul and international art lovers, aims to carry the cultural heritage to the future by combining it with art. When the preparations at Yedikule Fortress are completed, visitors will be able to experience both the historical atmosphere and the transformative power of art together.

The 3rd Yeditepe Biennial aims to present a comprehensive programme bringing together different disciplines of art. In addition to reflecting the spirit of the biennial, the events at Yedikule Fortress aim to promote the historical texture of the site on an international level.
