Abstract
Turning the 21st century Izmir has encountered to be a brand mark city by the fundamental changes. Toward this motivation, the local and national establishments engaged in various projects to polish the local elements. However, there seems less attention to the fundamental problem as consciousness of citizenship. Actual Izmir demonstrates a sort of ‘consumption of space’ which causes a gap between the past and the present. This article which is acquired by the ethnographic interviews, investigates the awareness of place process among Izmir Festival’s participants who participate to the concerts in the “islands of time” isolated by modern life in the city. Four places are taken as case studies to report the interaction of festival participants. Previously being ‘invisible’, they make sense by the personal experiences that the festival participants have during and after the performance which contributes to connect one’s memory with the city’s memory.
