Panorama Talks

Held in Istanbul Modern’s first-floor exhibition galleries, “Panorama: Dreams and Places” is accompanied by a new talk series that brings together photography and contemporary art. Panorama Talks aims to create a platform for dialogue on contemporary photography and lens-based art in Türkiye by opening space for artists and curators to share and discuss their thinking, production processes, and exhibition practices with audiences.
