Ali Tejani

Istanbul left a strong cultural imprint in just one month. The city is constantly changing as it balances its rich history with an equally vibrant contemporary political climate. It was thrilling to report in this setting while immersing myself in all the culture had to offer. In such a large population, there are tons of stories left unheard. I am fortunate to have found one of those stories to amplify it for the world to see. With the help of our guides at Bahçeşehir University, I was able to find as much as I could on the story while exploring the city’s unique districts. I am grateful for the assistance of staff from both Bahçeşehir University and iEi Media.
