Mahsul

Public gatherings program / Curator / Online

Supported by EU CultureCIVIC Grassroots Grants in 2022 

How many crops can grow on the same soil? What is the connection of the railways, the dam, the factories and the power plants that have grown on Çukuorva as the other crops over the last two hundred years? How these infrastuctures evolved and given rise to other yields, industrial farming routines, microclimatic changes, urban-rural identities and new landscapes?

Mahsul [Yield in EN] focuses on the environmental, cultural and social yields of rural modernisation projects and industrial agricultural practices in Çukurova.

Mahsul Gatherings invites researchers who focus on Çukurova in their studies and seek answers to similar questions created Mahsul Project.

Records of the gatherings (only in Turkish) are online on YouTube and Mahsul.info
