Combining the functions of a research institution and an arts exhibition space, SALT has notably launched a number of exhibitions revisiting and reconsidering fundamental moments in history, whether the history of Turkey or the history of Turkish contemporary art. Exhibitions have explored the unwritten and forgotten histories of the city, as well as questions of modernity and heritage, bringing forth SALT as an institution that challenges and enriches the quotidian discussions of national historiography. Other exhibitions, like SALT’s retrospective of Rabih Mroué, deal with universal themes within the orbit of politics, relating the experience of art and contemporaneity in Turkey to extra-national contexts.
