Postane

Postane is an urban centre for impact-driven work and joint cultural production, based in Galata, Istanbul. In 2021, the former British Post Office building was repurposed as a public venue that serves as a launchpad for activists, promotes cultural heritage, and develops economic models and cultural programs that address social, environmental, and urban challenges.

In 2020, the building was bought from the Ormanlar family and reopened in 2021 after the restoration by Merve Bedir, Eren Onur, Çiğdem Furtuna, Öncül Kırlangıç, Büşra Tunç, and Jorela Karriqi. It continues to serve as Postane, a multi-purpose urban hub.
