SAHA Studio’s second term began in March 2020 with the participation of Kerem Ozan Bayraktar, Borga Kantürk, Gülşah Mursaloğlu, Metehan Özcan, and Dilek Winchester, invited by SAHA Studio’s Selection Committee members Çelenk Bafra, Hera Büyüktaşçıyan, and Vasıf Kortun. However, the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted the programme, temporarily putting on hold the artists’ work at the Studio.

During this nearly three-month period, the artists stayed connected through online meetings and presentations. Conversations with the artists explored their experiences of working from home and the projects they hoped to develop at SAHA Studio. Following the reopening of SAHA Studio in mid-June, when the artists were able to resume working together in the space, these conversations were revisited and updated with a new set of questions.
