A seminar by Marcel Heijnen, the writer of "City Cats of Istanbul" book

As part of the "Nest Without Borders: Design Workshop for Street Animals in Istanbul" workshop, we came together with Marcel Heijnen, the author and photographer of the book "City Cats of Istanbul", which beautifully captures the essence of Istanbul's cats!
We would like to express our gratitude to Beşiktaş Municipality for their valuable contributions in making this wonderful meeting happen.
