About
Our Vision: Connecting Souls to Art
"The Soul's Mirror" is a unique project with a mission to move art appreciation beyond passive observation and into a deep, personal, and transformative dialogue. Our core service uses a methodology based on logotherapy and philosophy to match an individual's personal "Meaning Manifesto" with a "soul mate" artwork, creating a profound connection between a person and a piece of art. To expand this vision and incorporate Istanbul's living art scene, we are building a comprehensive digital platform of current exhibitions. This is where we need your help.
The Role: Art & Meaning Ambassador (Volunteer Partner)
We are looking for dedicated and enthusiastic volunteer partners to become the eyes and ears of our project within the Istanbul art community. This is more than a data entry role; it is a chance to be a key player in building a bridge between the city's art scene and a global audience searching for meaning.
Your responsibilities will include:
-
Research & Discovery: Actively tracking and identifying current and upcoming art exhibitions across Istanbul's galleries, museums, and independent art spaces.
-
Liaison & Networking: Professionally representing "The Soul's Mirror" and contacting gallery managers and cultural institutions to establish information-sharing partnerships.
-
Content Management: Accurately gathering, organizing, and uploading exhibition details—including artist information, artwork images, dates, and conceptual texts—to our project's website, ensuring our digital platform is rich, current, and reliable.
Who We Are Looking For
This partnership is ideal for individuals who are:
-
Passionate about contemporary art and deeply interested in Istanbul's cultural landscape.
-
Excellent communicators, comfortable and professional in reaching out to new contacts.
-
Organized, reliable, and detail-oriented.
-
Digitally literate and comfortable with web-based platforms.
-
Enthusiastic about our project's unique mission to connect art with philosophy and personal identity.
What We Offer in Return
As a valued volunteer partner, you will gain:
-
Invaluable Experience: Hands-on experience in art administration, digital curation, and networking within the professional art world.
-
Skill Development: A great opportunity to enhance your communication, research, and project management skills for your CV.
-
Exclusive Networking: The chance to build a personal network of contacts with curators, artists, and gallery owners in Istanbul.
-
Meaningful Contribution: The satisfaction of being a foundational part of an innovative project that is redefining how people interact with art.
-
A Letter of Recommendation: We will gladly provide a detailed letter of recommendation upon successful completion of our collaboration.
Join us in this exciting mission to map the soul of Istanbul's art world and bring it to those who need it most.
