The Istanbul Biennial Production and Research Programme (ÇAP), active from 2018 to 2024, is a ÇAP (Production and Research Programme) initiative by the Istanbul Biennial. Over five terms, it supported over 30 artists and researchers through mentorship, workshops, seminars, and advisory sessions. In 2021, a collaboration with BAK basis voor actuele kunst expanded its reach, establishing focus groups in Istanbul, Jakarta, Utrecht, and online. The programme provided participants with access to resources, tools, networks, and guidance tailored to their projects.
