The Türkiye Pavilion will be curated by Esra Sarıgedik Öktem, with Bige Örer emphasizing Karamustafa's themes in relation to the main exhibition, 'Foreigners Everywhere,' overseen by Adriano Pedrosa. İKSV organizes the pavilion, supported by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Türkiye.
