This week in our talk series “I am new to İzmir and…”, we hosted architect, researcher, writer, and editor Melis Cankara. During the event facilitated by designer and lecturer Gizem Saraçer, we listened to Melis’s story of reconnecting with Izmir, her hometown.

While sharing her journey from Crete to İzmir, Melis mentioned that taking on the role of Coordinator at the Good Design İzmir_8, in an effort to build a community in İzmir, opened up a new space for her.
