IMECE An artist-run initiative

IMECE

imece /i·me·dʒe/ · noun, Turkish
from Anatolian village life

When a task is too big for one household, the whole village shows up. Harvest, house, feast: everyone works, everyone benefits.

[Story]

We took an old word for shared work and built an initiative around it.

It began with two friends and a question: where do artists go when the usual walls don't fit them? So we made other rooms. Borrowed ones, temporary ones, loud ones.

We kept the spirit of the word. Everyone brings what they have. Painters, musicians, cooks and friends of friends carry the work together, and the work belongs to all of them.

The circle kept growing, from the street around the corner to cities far away. The rooms keep changing. The way we build them doesn't.
