Golden Horn Labor and Industry Collective Memory Route

This route will explore the natural and built environmental elements, ecological corridors, and labor history that shape Istanbul's industrial identity from a water perspective. The spatial distribution of factories located on both banks of the Golden Horn, their relationship with water, and the labor structure of the period will be scrutinized. The transformation of the Golden Horn will be approached from different perspectives, from the Byzantine, Ottoman, and Republican periods, as well as through literature, cinema, music, and visual arts. In this journey, from "industrial culture" to "cultural industries," changing actors and landscapes will be compared. The route will begin in Karaköy on the Golden Horn ferry line and conclude at the Silahtarağa Campus, Istanbul's first power plant.
