EGEHUB

THE EGEHUB PROJECT – Overview

EGEHUB is a VAHA-supported collaboration between GAR (Association for Migration Research), Kirte School, and Duvarlar Bile Biliyor, designed to explore how the Aegean’s layered histories of displacement can reshape today’s perceptions of migrants. Through seminars, field visits, artistic residencies, and community-based workshops in İmbros/Gökçeada and Alçıtepe/Kirte, the project investigates how memory lives in landscapes, gestures, sounds, and everyday practices—and how art can open new pathways for recognition and coexistence.

This website presents EGEHUB’s journey through a series of windows: an introduction to the project’s aims and findings; the online seminar series; researcher profiles and reflections; the residency and exhibition To Whom Does the Wind Open Its Door?; field activities in Alçıtepe and İmbros; and individual artist pages featuring their works, statements, and bios. The final window acknowledges all partners, supporters, and community members who made this VAHA project possible.

Together, these windows form a living archive of how memory and artistic practice can transform the ways we see one another.
