“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.

INVISIBLE TO THE EYE
Film screening of «Invisible to the Eye» (2020, 85 min), followed by a Q&A with Eytan İpeker (editing) and Zeynep Dadak (director)
Inspired by Istanbul-born Armenian intellectual Eremya Celebi Komurciyan’s travel diaries from the 17th century, «Invisible to the Eye» traces his particular itinerary in today’s Istanbul. A complex palimpsest echoing Istanbul’s many different eras, this cinematic travelog explores Komurciyan’s farsighted approach to the concepts of looking and viewing. Not searching for nostalgia but depth, «Invisible to the Eye’s» editing style aims to blend the multiple, sometimes invisible layers of Istanbul: a mythical home for those who left, who stayed and who have recently arrived. Following the screening, director Zeynep Dadak and editor Eytan İpeker discussed the film with regard to Chromatic Wednesdays’ monthly theme «Home».

Zeynep Dadak is a director based in Berlin and Istanbul. She holds a PhD from the Cinema Studies Department at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. Her debut feature film «Mavi Dalga» (The Blue Wave, 2013) had its international premiere at the 64th Berlinale and received three awards at the Antalya Film Festival. Her films, including the feature length documentary «Ah Gözel İstanbul» (Invisible to the Eye, 2020), have been screened at renown film festivals such as Rotterdam, Sheffield, AFI and Dokufest. Zeynep Dadak was selected for the Medienboard Artist in Residence in Berlin in 2018 and Berlin Senate Fellowship in 2019. In 2021, she directed the mini-series «Terapist» (The Therapist) for the online platform GAIN. She was member of Altyazı Monthly Film Magazine’s editorial board between 2004 and 2020. Currently, Zeynep teaches film at NYU Berlin; she works as a consultant and tutor for the Berlinale Co-Production Market and the Torino Film Lab; and she is working on her new feature film «Electric Sleep».
