Perasma is an art platform based in Istanbul, founded by Burcu Fikretoğlu and Gizem Naz Kudunoğlu. Perasma’s mission is to stage ambitious exhibitions in new and unexpected places around the world and provide a dynamic stage to bring the work of emerging and established artists to new audiences.

The platform strives to forge connections between Istanbul and its surrounding region’s arts community with the wider international art world, showcasing works by local and international artists side by side. Founded in 2017, Perasma has since collaborated with more than 60 artists, including Anish Kapoor, Alfredo Jaar, Joan Jonas and William Kentridge.

Perasma recently presentd All Things Become Islands Before My Senses, a group exhibition of site-specific installations in dialogue with historic venues across the island of Leros this summer. Opening from 30 June – 18 August 2024, the exhibition will feature a mixture of new and existing works by more than 17 international artists including William Kentridge, Goshka Macuga, Cevdet Erek, Maryam Turkey and Lindsey Mendick, installed across six significant locations on the island.
