Karakutu works to learn lessons from the past. We believe that remembering the past plays an essential role in justice and peace.
As a society, we lack a fair memory of the past. As much as we remember past violence, conflicts and wrongdoings, a peaceful and equal society is possible.
We try to raise voices of the alternative narratives thatwere suppressed byofficial history and to introduce different perspectives about the past to society, especially to youth.
It is for this reason that we founded Karakutu at the beginning of 2014, in Istanbul.
Working Areas
As a voluntary and participatory organisation, we conduct projects such as
- Memorialisation projects for/with young people;
- Trainings and meetings in the area of dealing with past;
- Intercommunity historical dialogue projects
