The United Nations declared 2015 as the International Year of Light. It is a global initiative which highlights the importance of light and optical technologies in our lives, our futures, and for the development of society.
The Zorlu Center is hosting the Istanbul Light Festival from November 13-29. Curated by UCLA Design Media Arts Department Head, Rebeca Mendez, this festival is bringing works by 22 artists to transform Zorlu Center temporarily into the world’s largest public art gallery – lighting up the night’s sky – visible from across the Bosphorus
