Providing sanctuary to writers

freeDimensional (fD) supports culture in the service of free expression, justice and equality. To this end we nominate culture workers-in-distress to artist residencies that have vacant space for accommodation. fD recently nominated two poets to stay at cura bodrum. Here is what one of them says about the experience so far:

"Bodrum is just wonderful. very beautiful and peaceful environment, full of inspirations...
it will surely affect the play we are working. I haven't been this productive for [the] last two or three years."
