birbuçuk (one-and-a-half in English) aims to re-interpret and re-discuss the information, knowledge and suggestions revealed through scientific and socio-political works around ecology and through social movements in our planet and geography, and to deliberate them with reference to visual arts, performing arts and design platforms. Designated as a sharing ground to contemplate on our mutual future, birbuçuk investigates the possibilities of a dialogue between and the intersections of science, social movements and arts through its meeting agenda, and through topics such as nature, energy, justice, diversity, borders, metabolism, and geography.The first chain of meetings "Respiration" gathers people who are willing to re-think, re-investigate and re-create within the scope of various topics around the subject together. Respiration aims to critically examine the preestablished structures and socioeconomic metabolism, and to discuss alternative future scenarios. birbuçuk does not aim to change the future. It aims to enable undisciplined environments and commonalities through bringing together the ideas and individuals that will change the future. birbuçuk is inspired by the necessities and possibilities of a just limitation of climate change to the safe 1.5°C temperature rise above pre-industrial levels, and is interested in "half"s. It takes ground on the conversation and micro-narratives between singular, discipline-oriented study fields and methods, and tries to form connection points. It resists having a constant essence and being canonical and supports multiplicity, heterogenity and consilience. It does not have a root or a definite orientation. It is not a beginning nor an end. It is an experimental, unsteady, asymmetrical and open-ended exploration.birbuçuk continues its work with the coordination of climate change and energy economist - performance artist Ayse Ceren Sari, systems and environmental scientist - artist Serkan Kaptan, and curator Yasemin Ülgen.
