Nefes Foundation for Arts & Culture

Nefes was founded in 2016 by young Syrian and Turkish people who specialized in culture and arts and registered in Turkey in 2017. 
Nefes believes that artistic and cultural productions are important to the stability and well-being of any society, especially societies that faced psychological trauma and isolation as well as loss of identity. From this pillar, Nefes believes that education, artistic and cultural production is essential for the recovery and prosperity of societies.
Nefes seeks to present itself as a cultural state that respects and possesses the strength and confidence of our diverse cultural heritage. It draws its inspiration from the cultural and academic knowledge and backgrounds of its team to restore authentic cultural heritage and preserve it away from the trap of museum heritage and touristic folklore. In parallel, NEFES aims to preserve cultural work and its means and provide new artistic experiences that contribute to its enrichment.
