FIELD VISITS

Soma, Manisa / Bergama, İzmir

As part of the project, field visits to Soma and Bergama were conducted with artists, aiming to raise spatial awareness of the geographical environment. These visits aim to enable artists to get to know the region and understand their relationship with it not only intellectually but also sensorially.

These visits to mining areas, thermal power plants, villages, wind turbines, solar power plants, and the regional center were conducted under the guidance of Soma Municipality and Bergama Environmental Platform.

The "Between Contradictions, Possibilities, and Utopias" cultural and artistic project is a transdisciplinary initiative that, following the 2014 mining disaster in Soma, which became a focal point of academic efforts, examines the transition from coal mining to renewable energy through the concepts of "environmental justice" and "just transition," while simultaneously discussing the impact of renewable energy plants opened in nearby Bergama and Ayvalık on the local context through exhibitions, film screenings, workshops, panels, and talks, all centering on the concept of "dispossession."
