Senses-On
The MARUF experience begins with knowledge and evolves into production and dialogue, culminating in physical and sensory engagement. Participants connect with their surroundings, listen to sounds, observe images, and interact dynamically with the city. This approach enables them to understand and discuss urban issues by engaging multiple senses.
Events where selected publications on cities are available and are dissected through talks and discussions.
Events that include selected films about cities are shown and ensued by vibrant discussions.
Distinguished exhibitions located in the open and closed areas of the event venue.
Collective spaces shaped by the experiences of participants, where observations regarding the forum are discussed and reflected upon.
Music, dance and visual arts that inspire and unite.
Thematic tours that participants experience in different parts of Istanbul on the third day of the forum.
