“Chromatic Wednesdays”is a bi-weekly event series organized by Apartment Project, which promotes artistic expression across various disciplines and formats. Each month, Chromatic Wednesdays focuses on a new theme, for which two events are realized. In 2022, the themes were: Improvisation, Exile, Precarity, Mutualism, Recurrence, Echoes, Divergence, Instability, Curiosity, Resonance, Sanctuary and Inversion. In 2023: Solidarity, Upheaval, Resistance, Light, Comma, Mythology, Position, Urbanism, Unbound, Dystopia, Home and Intelligence. Chromatic Wednesdays invited artists, musicians, performers, scientists and cultural practitioners to collaborate, experiment and share their unique research, practices and experiences with each other and the public. The events included a wide range of multidisciplinary, hybrid formats, including concerts, performances, workshops, film screenings, lectures, exhibitions, readings, and panel discussions.

In 2021 the project came to life as a reaction to artistic disruption caused by the pandemic.  Today numerous challenges persistently endanger cultural production. How do artists and  audiences from different backgrounds and mediums come together? What forms of new expression can be explored or can be expanded? What kind of new networks between institutions and artists can be established? How can these networks sustain the survival of the artists?

As part of Chromatic Wednesdays’ Season 2 and 3, a total of 167 participants from countries, such as Turkey, Germany, France, Italy, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Ukraine, Norway, Japan, Iran, Poland, Switzerland, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Sweden, Russia, China, the U.K, USA, Portugal, Columbia, Costa Rica, Cameroon, Namibia, Israel, Egypt, Spain, Austria, Ireland, Russia, Taiwan were invited. Of them, 92 female, 63 male and 12 non-binary participated.

The very first editions were streamed online due to Corona measures. Since June 2021, the events have been held in a hybrid format, mainly at the Apartment Project and online.

 ANTHONY HUSEYIN - PROJECT:O «YILDIZLARIN ALTINDA» RELEASE

Audiovisual performance and conversation by Anthony Hüseyin and Mahir Duman
In the letter “o,” which has neither beginning nor end, the line runs in circles and repeats its shape again and again. The second event on the theme of “Recurrence” invited Anthony Hüseyin to present their new project “O”. In the album, they return to the rediscovery of their gender, their childhood, and their attachment to Zeki Müren, whom Anthony considers the first example of a non-binary Turkish artist and a great influence on their music style. Their album alludes to Zeki’s as well as contemporary electro-pop music, while referring to the third genderless person in Turkish called “o”, which means “he”, “she”, and “it” in one word. Thus, their concept album “O” symbolizes Anthony’s personal and artistic quest for identity as a queer, POC, non-binary musician from Turkey. In the performance, Anthony presented their songs interwoven with conversations with the audience about being and becoming non-binary, accompanied by Mahir Duman with live visuals, and released their new single “Yıldızların Altında”.

Anthony Hüseyin is a non-binary musician, singer-songwriter, composer, producer, transdisciplinary performer, and singing teacher from Turkey, of Turkish-Kurdish and Arabic descent. After growing up in conservative Urfa in southeastern Turkey, they studied classical and jazz singing in Istanbul and Rotterdam. They released two albums (“Safran” in 2012 and “The Lucky One” in 2017, which won second prize in the singer-songwriting category in the Netherlands) and four singles in 2018. They work as a curator of the Queer Performance Art Evening Rotterdam and have performed at venues including the Sabancı Museum in Istanbul, at the Maxim Gorki Theater, the Villa Kuriosum, and the İç İçe Festival at Festsaal Kreuzberg in Berlin.

Mahir Duman (born in Ordu, Turkey) is a Berlin-based visual artist and VJ, who presents live performances, interactive installations, and projection mapping at concerts, music and art festivals, in clubs, and art galleries. Mahir studied Industrial Engineering at Yıldız Technical University in Istanbul and Digital Film & Visual Effects at the SAE Institute in Berlin. He produces videos, short films, music clips, and other media sets, mixed and synchronized with sound and the rhythm of action. He describes his imagery as unrealistic and surreal, questioning human perception and the interplay between subjects. Defining music as the scenario of a visual show, he aims to create a new perspective, a relationship between humanity and the universe, to reach the human subconscious and emotions playing light, color, and images.
