About the aims of KEŞİF and its first project "Bridge the Gap with Jazz"
“KEŞİF”, which was launched to bring together organisations and communities with common values, was designed as a creative space where different disciplines and voices ask questions together and aim to develop content with sustainable communities charged with the energy of “discovery”.
The first project of KEŞİF, “Bridge the Gap with Jazz”, was realized with the support of the US Diplomatic Mission in Turkey and is based on the idea that music is one of the most direct means of communication between cultures and generations. The project also aimed to promote freedom of expression and cultural dialogue through jazz, to create a jazz ensemble of young artists and students, examine the history of cultural diplomacy between Turkey and the United States in the context of jazz music, and to look at the historical relationship between the two countries from a different perspective.
