keep art moving across borders

At Secant Space, we see art as a vital form of connection, a way of thinking, sensing, and living together.

To live with art is to share perspectives, to think through other minds, to be in touch with what moves and transforms us. It strengthens us, makes us more attentive, and reminds us that imagination is a collective force.

Based in Istanbul, Secant Space is both an artist residency and a curatorial platform. We collaborate with artists who question, who care, who resist; and we dedicate our energy to standing with them through exhibitions, research, and shared conversations that move between Istanbul and the world.

Supporting Secant Space means contributing to a living context for art, one that values reflection, exchange, and the slow construction of meaning.

It is a gesture of trust in what art can do: connect people, open questions, and quietly shift how we see the world.

Secant Space is run by a Swiss non-profit association, hosts artists in Istanbul, and develops curatorial projects internationally.
