Turkish Highline Carnival

18/11/2021

[ENGLISH]

Sorry but bad news people :( Turkish Highline Carnival is NOT taking place in 2022. We would like to explain shortly why.

Starting from the very first event, since 2013, organizing THC has never been easy for us and we have always volunteered for it without expecting any profit. The festival is much much more than just organizing slackline activities or rigging highlines. Figuratively speaking, we are juggling camps (that are privately run and primarily seeking for profit), climbers, locals, local government, outsiders, free-riders, etc all at the same time and we always have been trying to find common ground & solutions that work for everybody involved. This requires a lot of work and upfront funds which we have so far generated via personal contributions. Now, it is very obvious that this is not sustainable for us.

We have been taking initial steps for THC 2022 and trying to come up with a better and more sustainable way of organizing THC, but unfortunately, as the organization team, we lack the volunteered resources we need. The majority of the organization team are working hard in their daily jobs and are in no position to promise the time required. We don't want to force the festival where we have hesitations about the organization and only want to bring it back once we are completely ready for it. So, we have to skip another year.

We will miss you...

Cheers from

Üzgünüz ama kötü haber geliyor...
Bunu söylemek bizi çok üzüyor olsa da, Turkish Highline Carnival, 2022 yılında gerçekleşmeyecek! İzin verin özetle neden bu yıl festivali yapamadığımızı açıklayalım.

THC, ilkini düzenlediğimiz 2013 yılından beri her sene gönüllülük usulüyle çalışan, bu işten hiçbir gelir elde etmeyen bizlerin yoğun uğraşları sonucunda, kâr amacı gütmeden organize ettiğimiz ve hepimizin yüzünde gülümsemelerin eksik olmadığı hatıralar biriktirdiği bir etkinlik olarak gerçekleşti. Her sene birçok farklı dinamiği göz önünde bulundurup, özel ve ticari işletmeler olarak bölgede hizmet veren kamp alanlarının, yerel halkın, bölgedeki tırmanıcıların, yerel yönetimin, etkinlik katılımcılarının ve bölgedeki doğal yaşamın ortaklaştığı bir zemin bulabilmek için büyük çaba sarfederek ve her sene etkinlik öncesinde ve esnasında organizasyonun gerçekleşebilmesi için gerekli tüm masrafları kişisel kazançlarımızın bir kısmını festivale ayırarak karşıladığımız bir düzende organize etmeyi başarabildiğimiz Turkish Highline Carnival’ın hem ekonomik, hem sosyal, hem de organizasyonel sorunlar sebebiyle, bu şekilde daha fazla sürdürülemeyeceğine kanaat getirdik.

Thc 2022’nin gerçekleşebilmesi ve festivalin önümüzdeki yıllar boyunca da sürdürülebilir bir şekilde devam edebilmesi adına yeni bir sistem geliştirdik fakat bu sistemin hayata geçirilebilmesi ve yürütülebilmesi için gerekli iş yükü, tam zamanlı olarak çalışacak bir grup insanın ve festival sürecinde de onlarca gönüllünün emeğine ihtiyaç duyduğundan ve organizasyon ekibi olarak sahip olduğumuz zamansal ve ekonomik kaynakların bu sene için yeterli olmaması sebebiyle, THC’yi ne kadar çok özlemiş olsak da, üzülerek, seneye daha iyi şartlarda yapabilmek adına 2022 yılında gerçekleştiremiyoruz.

Herkesi çok özledik...

Last night we went into the unknown and tried a night session with reflective outfits. What do you think? Does it look like an alien world to you? 👽👾
👆 There are no special effects in post production in what you see here, the outfits are reflective material and the line was wrapped with reflective fabric and we attached 2 head torches to the drone 😂
