Historical Yedikule Fortress is preparing to host art lovers within the scope of the 3rd Yeditepe Biennial. The curators of the biennial, Fatih Ömeoğlu and Furkan Türkyılmaz, and the technical team carried out the necessary inspections in the area for the exhibition of the works.

Preparations for the third Yeditepe Biennial, one of Istanbul's leading cultural and artistic events, are in full swing. Within this framework, the curators of the 3rd Yeditepe Biennial, Fatih Ömeoğlu and Furkan Türkyılmaz, and the technical team carried out a detailed technical visit for the works to be exhibited in Yedikule Fortress. During the visit, comprehensive evaluations were made on how the artefacts would be positioned and exhibited in accordance with the historical texture of the fortress.

Yedikule Fortress, which bears traces of the Byzantine and Ottoman periods, is an important part of Istanbul's historical richness. Started in 413 by Emperor Theodosius II, the building has gained its present appearance with the elements added over time. Yedikule Fortress, which was used as a treasury, archives and state prison during the Ottoman period, serves as a museum today and offers its visitors the opportunity to witness the deep-rooted past of Istanbul with its historical atmosphere.

Biennial organisers plan to set up three-dome tents in Yedikule Fortress Square to create a unique space where traditional artworks will be exhibited. This approach both prioritises respect for the historical heritage and makes the venue a centre of artistic attraction. It is also aimed to organise the opening ceremony of the biennial in these tents.

Yeditepe Biennial aims to reflect the cultural diversity and richness of Istanbul as a platform where traditional and contemporary art come together. The works to be exhibited within the scope of the Biennial are planned to be selected and placed in harmony with the historical and architectural features of Yedikule Fortress. Thus, it is aimed for visitors to experience both the works of art and the historical texture of the fortress together.
