PASAJ's residency program AIRBayrampaşa hosts artist Ali Kanal between 15-29 March 2021. 

In his artistic practice, Ali Kanal focuses on the unseen and unknown components of the city. As a flâneur, he walks through the city’s abandoned streets, deserted buildings and checks trash to look for found materials to use later in his sculpture productions.

​

Along with Elif Bursalı from the PASAJ team, Christian Oxenius is also participating in this residency process. He is a German-Italian independent curator, author, and researcher living in Istanbul. His academic background in sociology and urban studies led him to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of Liverpool on biennials as an institutional model, during the course of which he established collaborations with the Athens Biennale, Liverpool biennial, and Istanbul Biennial.
