Our exhibition, Looking at the Journey: The Memory of Jazz, explores the history and memory 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.
