Istanbul's cultural hub, Beyoğlu, is hosting its first-ever jazz festival, aptly named the Beyoğlu Jazz Festival. The event comes to life through collaborations with a great number of concert venues, art collectives, record shops, galleries, and public institutions throughout the district. It seamlessly blends with Beyoğlu’s unique rhythm, reflecting its rich cultural heritage and diverse community. As part of the festival, the exhibition Looking at the Journey: The Memory of Jazz, organized in partnership with İBB Kültür AŞ, explores and visualizes the history of jazz in Turkey. Focusing on the origins and spread of jazz culture especially in Istanbul and Beyoğlu, the exhibition uses archival materials to trace jazz's introduction and growth, the rise of club culture, the role of women in jazz, the thrill of swing dancing, and the stories of past festivals. Through this, it tells the ongoing journey of jazz in Turkey from its beginnings to the present.
