https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGy0KR41fjU

What happens when two directors, one working in the cinema and the other in the theater, who care about making art productions a part of the academic field, come together? 

In this talk, Serdar Biliş and Zeynep Dadak will talk not only about intertextual relations, but also about their effort to create a transdisciplinary free creative space that multiplies forms and texts. They will focus on the moments, issues and transmission processes that excite and inspire them in their collaborative production as well as in personal work.

The event can be followed on zoom and will be broadcast live on Khas Youtube channel. The language of this event will be in Turkish.
