PASAJ is an art initiative formed by artists, curators, and cultural professionals. It serves as a project space for exhibitions, performances, workshops, and talks in the field of contemporary art, and organises artist residency programs. Attentive to the social context, accumulated histories, and memory of its spaces, PASAJ seeks to foster connections with local communities and to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and skills. It invites artists to develop site-specific projects in dialogue with their surroundings and, by integrating art into everyday life, aims to engage not only established art audiences but the wider public. Since its founding in 2010, PASAJ has relocated five times, each move reshaping the initiative through renewed ties with its respective neighborhood. It is currently based at Barın Han in Çemberlitaş and has been a member of the international AIM network since 2019.
