TRANS-LOCAL-ACT CULTURAL PRACTICES WITHIN AND ACROSS
edited by Doina Petrescu, Constantin Petcou, Nishat Awan
This book brings together a series of reflections and practices around issues of local and trans-local cultural production within different contexts in Europe, prompted through the agency of a collaborative and networked project: Rhyzom www.rhyzom.net.
All these cultures developed within local contexts are intrinsically related to political, economic, social and material aspects and to specific temporalities, spatialities, individual and collective histories and experiences. Like the whole Rhyzom project, the book is an attempt to create transversal links and connections within and across different local framings and to seize instances of the dynamic and complicated nature of notions of 'local' and 'culture' through multiple forms of practice, which address the critical condition of culture in contemporary society. In relations with 'local and 'trans-local', 'place' and 'culture', issues of conflict and contest, ecologies, politics and care practices, common and commonality, institutions and agencies are addressed.
The book is written by architects, artists, activists, curators, cultural workers, educators, sociologists and residents living in different rural and urban areas in Europe and is addressed to anyone concerned with the relation between culture, subjectivity, space and politics today.

Oda Projesi; Özge Açıkkol, Güneş Savaş ve Seçil Yersel’den oluşan bir sanatçı kolektifidir. Kolektif üyeleri 3 senelik birlikteliklerini 2000 yılından itibaren bir projeye dönüştürmüşlerdir. Ocak 2000’den, mutenalaşma süreci ile yerlerinden çıkarıldıkları 16 mart 2005 yılına kadar, Galata’da bulunan kâr amacı gütmeyen bağımsız mekânları, birçok projeye, buluşmaya ve harekete ev sahipliği yapmıştır. Oda Projesi’nin şu anda hareketli ve yere bağlı olmayan bir yapısı vardır. Oda Projesi İstanbul’un ve sakinlerinin yaratıcılıklarına olan bağını ve saygısını önplanda tutarak, halen yere ve mekâna dair sorular sormaya; kartpostal, radyo, kitap, poster, gazete gibi araçları ya da geçici mekânları kullanarak yeni ilişki modelleri üzerine düşünmeye devam etmektedir.

Oda Projesi is an artist collective based in Istanbul; composed of Özge Açıkkol, Güneş Savaş and Seçil Yersel who turned their collaboration into a project in 2000. From January 2000, their space in Galata functioned as a non-profit independent space, hosting projects, gatherings and acts up until march 16th2005, when Oda Projesi was evicted from the apartment due to the process of gentrification. Since then Oda Projesi has a mobile status and not any more space based; continues to raise questions on space and place creating relationship models by using different mediums like radio stations, books, postcards, newspapers or giving form to different meeting points; depending on and respecting to the creativity of Istanbul and its citizens.
