2022 edition of the program, which was implemented by Teos Culture and Arts Association in cooperation with the KARANTINA collective, allowed 12 artists who were guests of five villages of Izmir, Çanakkale and Bursa for three weeks to produce artworks inspired by rural cultural heritage elements. The program, which contacted 42 organizations from 10 cities in the country and 6 organizations from 6 cities abroad during 2022, left 13 artworks, a project documentary and a bilingual publication after two exhibitions opened in Bursa and Izmir under the name “Cracking the Door Open”.
