TRUSTEES' 2012 ANNUAL REPORT
We are pleased to share with you the progress the Turkish Cultural Foundation (TCF) has made in 2012.
In 2012, TCF allocated a total of $3,511,981 to grants, operational and program disbursements to pursue its mission.
Continuing to be one of the leading private grantmakers in the area of Turkish cultural preservation and promotion, in 2012, TCF provided a total of $ 440,465 in grants and fellowships to organizations and individuals.
Last year saw the completion of the Ayaslı Research Center, a state of the art research building which TCF donated to the Middle East Technical University (METU) in Ankara, Turkey. The construction of the building started in 2011 and was completed in less than a year at a total cost of nearly $ 6.6 million. The Ayaslı Research Center was officially handed over to METU and inaugurated with a ceremony on March 5, 2012.
Established in 2011 and 2010, respectively, the TCF Culinary Arts Center (YESAM) and the TCF Cultural Heritage Preservation and Natural Dyes Laboratory (DATU) are maturing into leading resources on Turkey's culinary and textile heritage. DATU and YESAM scholars work year-round to advance the cultural preservation and public education missions of TCF through research, publications, seminars and collaborations with other cultural institutions.
We continued to spread our Turkish educational outreach across the United States with the Spotlight on Turkey program in cooperation with the World Affairs Councils of America (WACA). In 2012, with three Teacher Study Tours organized by TCF under this program, the number of TCF Teacher Study Tour alumni reached 425 teachers from across the United States. Over 500 teachers participated in the 2012 Teacher Workshops with a student impact figure of nearly 56,000. Since this program’s inception in 2007, over 2,700 American teachers and an estimated 300,000 students benefitted from this TCF-WACA program. A new addition to our programs, in 2012, TCF established the Cultural Exchange Fellowship, designed specifically to support cultural and artistic exchanges among artists and culture professionals.
TCF programs and grants that foster people-to-people cultural exchanges also grew last year, facilitating cultural, artistic, and educational connections across the globe. TCF Lectures on Turkish culture, art and cuisine in Istanbul, the United States and Europe were attended by over 4,200 participants. Cultural events organized or funded by TCF grants, such as Turkish cultural and film festivals, workshops, exhibitions, concerts and other performances brought Turkish culture to tens of thousands of Americans. Serving our public educational mission, the TCF online portals on Turkish culture, music and cuisine were visited by over 2.7 million people from 205 countries and regions in 2012, spreading knowledge on Turkey’s cultural heritage.
It remains our passion and commitment to help build people-to-people bridges between Turkey and the United States, while connecting people across the globe around culture and art. We would like to thank everyone who participated in our work in the past year and helped us to foster a better understanding and appreciation of our shared humanity and cultural heritage.
In 2012, TCF funds were distributed as follows:

CULTURAL PRESERVATION & DOCUMENTATION
Spearheading and supporting projects that preserve the cultural heritage of Turkey are among the pillars of TCF. Progress was made on several existing TCF programs in this area and new projects came to fruition in 2012.
TCF Culinary Arts Center - YESAM
 |
|
TCF inaugurated the Culinary Arts Center-YESAM (Yemek Sanatları Merkezi) in 2011 on the 4th floor of the ARMAGGAN store in Nuruosmaniye, Istanbul. Headed by renowned chef and culinary expert Vedat Başaran, the mission of YESAM is to research, document and revive the culinary heritage and traditions created by the people of Turkey over the centuries on the expansive geographies they inhabited. |
To this end, YESAM develops theoretical and practical educational methods to promote Turkish culinary culture in Turkey and across the world to preserve this heritage for future generations.
A year-round lecture series on Turkish cuisine was launched at YESAM in 2012. In addition to presentations by Turkish culinary experts, the lecture program is accompanied by tastings of the lecture-relevant cuisine offered by Nar Restaurant.
Cultural Heritage Preservation and Natural Dyes Laboratory - DATU
 |
|
In 2010, TCF inaugurated the Cultural Heritage Preservation and Natural Dyes Laboratory – DATU in Istanbul under the sponsorship of the ARMAGGAN brand. The mission of DATU is to document, preserve and promote Turkey's textile heritage through scientific research and field-based studies. DATU now holds the world's most extensive collection of natural dye |
materials and has become one of the most advanced laboratories on natural dyes. DATU also contributes to the revival of the natural dye production and application process in contemporary textiles by conducting research on designs, motives and weaving techniques that accurately reflect regional and historical characteristics of Turkish textiles.
In line with the TCF mission to preserve Turkey's cultural heritage, DATU provides free analytical services to leading museums in Turkey and elsewhere that helps identify, date, restore, and conserve their artifacts and particularly their textile collections. DATU shares scientific information gained from these efforts with the scholarly community and the public, helping to advance knowledge and appreciation of Turkey's textile heritage. In 2012, the DATU team led by Dr. Recep Karadağ published seven papers, six of which were presented at international science conferences.
In 2012, DATU provided the following services to museums and institutions:
Topkapı Palace Museum
 |
|
Ottoman silk brocades were analyzed with nondestructive and microanalysis methods in the Topkapı Palace Museum. A total of 3,451 analyses were conducted on 287 objects. The DATU analyses of the historical textiles will assist with the restoration and conservation work at the Museum while helping to |
determine the correct date and geographical origin of the textiles.
Turkish and Islamic Art Museum
112 analyses were conducted on 18 carpets and kilims from the Turkish and Islamic Art Museum to properly assess the best methods for the cleaning and restoration of the textiles.
Ankara University, Department of Archeaology Science
DATU analyzed 5 objects that belong to the Ankara University, Department of Archeaology Science. The objects were pigment and textile samples from the Koru Tumulus excavation, believed to belong to the Persian king, Cyrus the Great (547 BC). The dye and pigment analysis by DATU provided further evidence that the excavated tomb belonged to a king's family.
Anatolian Civilizations Museum
DATU analyzed ceramic samples from the Museum and identified chemical and physical properties of the pigments in the ceramics from the Roman period.
Hacettepe University, Department of Biology Science
The wine residue detected by DATU analyses helped identify the purpose of Roman terracotta artifacts.
Harbiye Military Museum
DATU conducted dyestuffs analyses on 17 objects and 90 samples. Results enabled DATU to prescribe appropriate restoration and conservation methods.
Hagia Sophia Museum
DATU helped the Hagia Sophia Museum to properly identify the original pigment used on its buildings to be applied in restoration work.
General Directorate of Foundations
DATU analyzed carpet and kilim collections of the Istanbul, Ankara and Sivas branches of the General Directorate of Foundations. Dyestuff analyses on 75 samples from 12 carpets and kilims helped develop proper cleaning and restoration methods.
DATU Pigment Collection
In 2012, DATU produced a collection of 32 natural organic lake pigments. The DATU Pigment Collection is the largest such collection and represents the first of its kind produced from dye insects and dye plants indigenous to Turkey. The pigments may be used in decorative arts, as well as in the restoration of paintings, frescos, miniatures, paper marbling and illumination art. The collection also includes certificates detailing the chemical and physical properties of each pigment, as well as its source.
 |
|
The work of DATU on natural dyes goes hand-in-hand with the research and field-based studies conducted by the DATU team on Turkey's material culture. Led by Dr. Ozanay Omur, the DATU team conducts research on designs, motives and weaving techniques that accurately reflect |
regional and historical characteristics of Turkish textiles. Since its inception, DATU has undertaken comprehensive studies of Anatolian carpets, kilims and needlework – or oya.
Through its cooperation with ARMAGGAN, DATU not only helps to preserve Turkey's rich textile heritage, but also to revive it. TCF-DATU and ARMAGGAN joint projects support sustainable rural employment which has created income opportunities for over 250 women across Turkey.
Who's Who in Turkish Culture and Art
Work continued on the "Who's Who in Turkish Culture and Art" online database featuring living Turkish artists, artisans and experts. The goal of the project is to help identify practicioners of Turkish traditional and modern arts, promote Turkish artists worldwide. The project also enables people of common cultural interests to collaborate on projects that celebrate Turkish cultural heritage. The database is organized under various categories such as Visual Arts, Turkish Traditional Arts, Applied Arts, Literature, Music, Theater, Movie, Documentary and TV, Dance and Ballet, Academics, Fashion Design, and Restoration & Conservation. Accessible from the TCF Turkish Culture Portal, the database reached 2,400 artist entries by the end of 2012.
Cultural Preservation & Documentation Grants
Makam New York
 |
|
A TCF grant to Makam New York helped underwrite the First Annual Turkish Music Institute. The workshop was held in New York on May 29 through June 2 and featured three classes in practical use of music theory, intonation, and modal repertoire analysis and interpretation. |
The workshop was taught by Ahmet Erdoğdular, Ömer Erdoğdular, and Ross Daly.
Eyüp Music Foundation
 |
|
In 2012, TCF continued to support the Eyüp Music Foundation (Eyüp Musiki Vakfı), one of Istanbul's oldest musical societies. TCF's support helps provide music education to children who are unable to pursue it formally, and enables them to stage concerts for the Foundation. |
In 2012, the TCF grant underwrote a concert in January celebrating Erol Sayan, one of the leading contemporary composers of Turkish classical music.
Turkish Music Dictionary and Turkish Folk Music Dictionary
TCF continued its support for a multi-year, multi-disciplinary research and documentation project on Turkish music. The project's first phase to create an online Turkish Music Dictionary was completed and made available on the TCF Turkish Music Portal in 2011.
The second phase of the project is the creation of a Turkish Folk Music Dictionary, the first of its kind. The project is led by Turkish ethnomusicologist Dr. Melih Duygulu, who previously coordinated the TCF Turkish Music Portal project. In 2012, Dr. Duygulu's team visited 32 provinces across Turkey, compiling 800 Turkish folk music terms. About half of these were recorded for the first time.
In addition to "excavating" musical terms, the team collected bard chants (aşık havaları), lyrics/poetic sayings, henna songs, lullabies, laments, religious/mystical music samples and singing techniques and even local culinary traditions, through interviews and by participating in local celebrations. The field research is scheduled for completion in late 2013.
EDUCATION
Ayaslı Research Center at the Middle East Technical University (METU)
In May 2011, TCF and METU signed a protocol paving the way for the establishment of the Ayaslı Research Center (ARC). The ARC was donated to METU's Electrical Engineering Department by TCF as part of its founding mission to advance cultural, educational and scientific ties between the United States and Turkey. The construction of the building was completed in 2012. An official ceremony at the building on March 5, 2012 brought together METU President Prof. Dr. Ahmet Acar, TCF Founders and METU alumni Dr. Yalçın Ayaslı and Dr. Serpil Ayaslı, as well as METU faculty, alumni, and students.
The ARC building is a leading example of energy sensitive construction and the first of its kind in Turkey. It uses flexible membrance technology and supplies its own electricity through solar energy. The building is designed to collect and use rainwater. The ARC houses 19 research labs, 2 clean rooms, an anechoic chamber, and an antenna tower, as well as seminar and meeting rooms, student reading, and social areas. For its design and features, ARC was highlighted in Tasarım, a leading Turkish architectural magazine.
