About Arek Institute
Arek Institute is a non-profit organisation that was founded in 2021. This institution operates in the field of research and development. This is a per-execellence institution in Arek studies. We developed this issue in order to track, document and archive socio-cultural phenomena that occur in the Arek subculture because research on this field is still limited. These activities are applied through various programs that we design over a certain period.
