ArtIstanbul Feshane’s “Starting from the Middle” exhibition has been extended until Sept. 30.
Earlier this month an investigation was launched against the Istabul Municipality’s (IMM) “Starting from the Middle” exhibition at ArtIstanbul Feshane. IMM President Ekrem İmamoğlu said on the investigation: “It’s a shame! It’s a disgrace on behalf of democracy.”
The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office has launched an investigation into an exhibition titled “Starting from the Middle” at ArtIstanbul Feshane, organized by IBB, on charges of “inciting the public to enmity or humiliation”.
As part of the investigation, an official from İBB Kültür A.Ş. was questioned. After the official denied responsibility, the prosecutor’s office wrote a letter to the General Secretariat of the IMM Presidency, requesting that the identity and address of those responsible for organizing the exhibition be determined and reported to the prosecutor’s office. The prosecutor’s office plans to interview these individuals once their identities are revealed by the IMM.
