-We are “Open”- Stay LIVE at Home! Home is you Home is us Home is love Performistanbul invites you all! ♥️ From 17.03.2020, Performistanbul wishes to start a global movement by initiating the "home performances" series with its artists. Each artist will start presenting their LIVE performances online and will nominate another performance artist across the world. Through the nomination(s), we invite performance artists to create, to share, to contribute and to transform the collective experience by uniting safe spaces under one roof. We hope to raise awareness of healing through live movement and stay together within the current health crisis and create a common language through our individual spaces. We will announce performances daily, stay tuned! Performistanbul is supported by SAHA as part of Art Initiatives Sustainability Fund 2019 – 2020. @sahadernegi @performistanbul @pcsaa.ist #neededyou #collectiveexperience #homeisus #homeperformances
