International conference of Rosa Luxemburg Foundation,  
Heinrich-Böll-Foundation, Institute for Turkology (Freie Universität  
Berlin)and "ZWEIHEIMISCH - Institute of IntegrationResearch in Berlin:  
4./5.12.09

Istanbul is where Turkey?s heart beats, they say. Unlike other cities,  
more and more visitors have come sightsee and swarm the  
12-million-inhabitant-metropolis throughout the last years. Istanbul  
has become 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 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 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 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 contrariness.

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 reflected the traces of  
migration, the search for identities and for a living under the  
conditions of urban transformation.
