Istanbul Newcastle Xchange (INX)

-
Mon 9 November 2009 // 15:00 / Cinema

A unique event celebrating diversity and commonality, based around a cultural exchange between five North East based and five visiting Turkish artists: Alper Akcay, Deniz Aygun, CLAIRE, David Foggo, Paul Grimmer, Genco Gulan, Insel Inal, Funda Karakus, Carole Luby and Sally Madge.

INX will present exciting, newly developed works that investigate boundaries and thresholds, power and balance, difference and equality, manipulation and the truth.

Over two days the Star and Shadow will house a variety of performances and interventions to encourage curiosity and debate, as well hosting an open and informal discussion and a lively post-performance party with music, food, bar and surprise guest appearances!
