<p>International conference of Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, Heinrich-Böll-<wbr>Foundation, Institute for Turkology (Freie Universität Berlin) and "ZWEIHEIMISCH - Institute of IntegrationResearch in Berlin: 4./5.12.09<br>
<br>
Istanbul is where Turkey’s heart beats, they say. Unlike other cities, more and more visitors have come sightsee and swarm the 12-million-inhabita<wbr>nt-metropolis throughout the last years. Istanbul has become<br>
one of the economically most dynamic metropolises of Europe. Travellers from all over the world are enthusiastic about Istanbul’s art and music scene, about the lively nightlife with its particular mixture of<br>
familiar and exotic styles. Istanbul is considered a trendy place. Nevertheless, beyond the flashy shopping centres, the hip cafés, bars and clubs and beyond the artistic mélange there is a quite different Istanbul, too. It’s the city of its inhabitants, of the people who are living and have to make a living in this vast space of urban agglomeration: displaced people from South East Anatolia without<br>
better occupational outlook, who are looking for a lousy job at the outskirts of the city and have never seen the Bosporus. Young queers who feel protected by the urban anonymity in their search for diverse<br>
sexual and gender identities. Long-established Romanies whose dwellings and settlements are forced to yield the city’s gentrification process. All these people also mould the face of this city with its dazzling<br>
contrariness.<br>
2009 is the 20th anniversary of the sister cities Berlin and Istanbul, in 2010 Istanbul wants to present itself as the European Capital of Culture, as a cosmopolitan boom town. In addition, Istanbul is hosting the 6th European Social Forum in June 2010. This set of events is our motive to take a closer look at the Bosporus metropolis: looking from both perspectives, from Berlin, from Istanbul. We’re going to explore the terrain from different points of view of the metropolitan space, such as urban studies, arts and history. Istanbul is offering a particularly alive and bubbly field of political intervention to social scientists, activists and persons engaged in the cultural sector, who will concede us a glance behind the scenes of the magazine look of the city. Istanbul’s bridges do not only cross the Bosporus, they also tauten to Berlin, for example in the field of music – here and there expression of diversity, unrest, enthusiasm, protest and tradition: major city Rock and Ska from Istanbul, Turkish arabesque style and Kurdish Folk from Berlin. Whether it’s about music, film, science or art – in both cities you can find<br>
reflected the traces of migration, the search for identities and for a living under the conditions of urban transformation.<br>
