JangleJam project aims to bridge the gap between cultures by combining the different disciplines of art and music. Exploring concepts such as; “culture jam”, “improvisation” and “workshops”, the project will bring together 22 artists from 10 different countries.
The jam sessions will take place in Kadiköy; Istanbul’s rising district for young people and artists. Kadiköy’s first and only hostel, Hush Hostel, both welcomes and encourages the artists in sharing their talent and experience. The improvisations and workshops will be performed in several pubs and performance halls in Kadiköy.
During the festival, the international artists will meet 8 local artists from Turkey and have the chance to share their inspirations. These artists will be separated into three groups; musicians, contemporary artists and visual artists who will stay together in three dorm rooms in Hush; Unplugged room, Art room and Dark room. Throughout the week, the groups will work together and perform for free in local areas. The gigs and workshops will be supported by project partners.
The week comes to an end in Arkaoda, Kadiköy, where the musicians perform the outcomes of their collaborations. Rather than an end, the concert will celebrate the opening of the JangleJam exhibition; during September the Hush Gallery will be displaying the video art and photography from the collective works of this international meeting in Istanbul.
