SALT Panorama
Founded by Garanti BBVA in 2011 to support the production of knowledge, culture, and art, SALT’s ten years of accumulated content is made visible on the website “SALT Panorama.” Encapsulating the exhibitions, programs, research projects, publications, and archive collections of SALT, the project is presented as a chronicle of significant moments in the formation and development of the institution. Visitors can go through the projects developed by SALT, gaining online access to records such as SALT Research’s archive collections, past programs and activities, and e-publications. Embodying the memory of the institution, the project also highlights multilayered connections between programs realized in collaboration with artists, academics, and researchers.
