“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.

DARE YOU SAY: GAME NIGHT
Presentation of «Good Deed Bad Deed» by İpek Aşıkoğlu & İpek Çınar, followed by gaming
«Good Deed Bad Deed» is a board game created by artist İpek Çınar and legal academic İpek Aşıkoğlu that was presented at Chromatic Wednesdays. It encourages people to express their intentions and discuss their own positions in producing and presenting photographs, while addressing structural discrimination such as racism, sexism, ageism, classism and discrimination based on faith. Through hypothetical scenarios, the game challenges decision-making and judgment mechanisms in photography encouraging players to consider alternative perspectives.

After the presentation, the audience was invited to a game with İpek Aşıkoğlu and İpek Çınar. The participants were divided into groups of four. Those who came in a group of four could start right away and choose whether they want to play the role of the good-hearted or the devil, everybody’s darling or the fat cat. Everyone was welcome to join İpek Aşıkoğlu and İpek Çınar for an engaging evening of conversations about photography, agency, curatorial work and one’s positioning in the art field.

İpek Çınar (she/her) graduated from METU in Ankara in 2018 with a degree in political science and began her master’s studies in Art in Context at the Berlin University of the Arts in 2020. Working primarily with photography since 2011, Çınar tells stories that seek to convey an idiosyncratic language by blending photography with writing and research. In addition, she writes essays, interviews and articles and acts as a content advisor, especially for photography. Çınar enjoys the intersection of art and politics and uses play, joy and unexpected encounters as a means of expression for her projects. She had solo exhibitions at Poligon «The Shooting Gallery» in Istanbul and Ka Atelier in Ankara and has participated in numerous international group shows, residencies, workshops and festivals. Çınar is also a member of AICA Turkey, co-editor of Orta Format since 2015, and works in the field of anti-discrimination and social justice.

İpek Aşıkoğlu studied at the Faculty of Law at Istanbul University, completed her master’s degree in private law and is currently pursuing her doctorate. Aşıkoğlu, who worked as a lawyer for a while after graduating from the university in 2014, enjoys working in areas where law and innovation meet, and thinking about these fields. In 2018, her master’s thesis titled «Kişisel Verilerin Korunması ve Büyük Veri» (Protection of Personal Data and Big Data) was published as a book. Aşıkoğlu, who has published various articles in the field of personal data protection, also continues her studies in the fields of commercial and intellectual property law. She has recently become interested in the role of capital in the wind of sustainability.
