Dear BW supporters and friends, Sometimes, even when you pour your heart into something, things don’t go as planned.
After a lot of thought, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the 2026 Breaking Walls Summit in Istanbul. While we were incredibly excited to come together this year, circumstances beyond our control mean that we’ll have to wait a little longer.
To everyone who supported this journey—our volunteers, partners, artists, facilitators, donors, and every member of the Breaking Walls family—thank you. Thank you for your time, your trust, your encouragement, and for believing in what we’re building together. None of it goes unnoticed.
This isn’t goodbye to the summit—it’s simply “see you next year.” Our community doesn’t only exist when we’re in the same place. It lives on through our conversations, our online gatherings, our creativity, and the friendships we’ve built across borders.
We’ll keep creating, learning, and building peace through the arts, and when we finally meet again, it will be worth the wait.
Thank you for standing with us. We can’t wait to see you next year. ❤️
Moha
