The Anamur - MonAmour festival – August 14 to 25, 
2009 - is an international gathering around art 
and creativity, taking place in the rural 
Mediterranean setting of Anamur with participants 
from different cultural backgrounds. The project 
consists of a series of events around the central 
backbone of hands-on, state of the art workshops 
on photography, video, caricature drawing and 
local cuisine led by professionals. The festival 
in Anamur intends to create at least a 10 days 
community in which cross-cultural and 
inter-disciplinary experiences are shared. The 
town of Anamur with all its historical and 
natural beauty will become a playground for 
creativity; a varied cultural program will be 
provided; the site-specific features of the area 
(e.g. the sea turtles, the Roman castle or the 
social life of the farmers) will be mediated by 
professionals from the region.

At the festival a cross-cultural exchange will 
emerge from the heterogeneity of the groups and 
from direct contact with the population of 
Anamur. Participants from different countries 
will discover an unique ecosystem with a rich 
flora and fauna. A thematic focus is the 
confrontation with the running program for the 
protection of Caretta Caretta sea turtles. 
Anamur, on rather the whole Turkish Mediterranean 
coast, is home to the largest remaining 
population of these protected animals. Anamur 
with its solitude is an oasis that offers rich 
and unique natural sites and many ancient ruins 
from Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman times.
