“Occupied City: Politics and Daily Life in Istanbul, 1918-1923” runs until 26 December 2023 at the Istanbul Research Institute in Beyoğlu, and explores everyday life over a five-year period in which the future of the city was anything but certain. Who would remain? Who would leave? Who would rule? Rumour and speculation swirled around such questions, exacerbated by the conflicting statements of Allied statesmen, successive Ottoman cabinets, and the Ankara government. Istanbul was in flux, not only in terms of its shifting politics, but also in its social and cultural ideas and practices. These changes were produced by the multiplicity of overlapping regimes and converging populations that defined the period, including servicemen, bureaucrats, merchants, refugees, labourers, intellectuals, and artists, drawn not only from the occupying powers and their colonies, but also from neighbouring regions dislocated by conflict.
