KADD at PU Expo Istanbul 2026: a conversation about cultural heritage
November 10, 2026Mayıs 2026’da New York ve Boston’da düzenlediğimiz etkinliklerde Karahantepe kazılarını ve KADD’nin çalışmalarını Amerika’daki katılımcılarla paylaştık. Bu buluşmalarda tanıştığımız kişilerle temaslarımız sürüyor. Turkish Philanthropy Funds (TPF) ile işbirliğimiz ve platformdaki kampanyamız da Amerika’dan Karahantepe araştırmalarına destek vermek isteyenler için somut bir katılım yolu sunuyor.
Two cities, new contacts
Our New York gathering took place at the Harvard Club of New York City. We shared Karahantepe research and explained how KADD supports the work, meeting people who were interested in learning more about the site and its archaeology.
Boston
The Turkish Consulate General in Boston hosted our next event. It brought Karahantepe to another audience and introduced us to more people with whom we could continue the conversation after the visit.
We are especially grateful to Halime Diğdem Buner, Consul General of the Republic of Türkiye in Boston, for hosting our Boston event. We also thank everyone who helped make the gatherings possible in both cities, and all those who joined us.
Working with our members in the US
The visit was also an opportunity to meet KADD members based in the United States. Some attended the events or helped with the arrangements. We remain in close contact with this group and are working together to develop new projects.
TPF and the laboratory’s remaining needs
KADD’s campaign on the TPF platform supports the remaining needs of the Prof. Dr. Ufuk Esin Archaeometry Laboratory at Istanbul University. Supporters in the United States can contribute to this work through the campaign.
Donations through TPF are tax-deductible in the United States to the extent permitted by law. Our partnership with TPF gives our US-based members and the supporters we met during the visit a way to contribute to the laboratory project.
Plans for 2027
We plan to organise further events and take part in programmes in the United States in 2027. We would also like to explore opportunities in other states. The relationships formed in New York and Boston give us people to talk with as these plans develop.
We will share locations and dates as arrangements are confirmed. In the meantime, supporters can learn about the laboratory project and contribute through KADD’s campaign on the TPF platform.
