Envelope Room + Momentum 2026 Call Out for Designers
Envelope Room is inviting expressions of interest from Scotland-based designers to take part in one of a series of networking conversations with members of the Momentum 2026 Türkiye delegation.
Momentum is a partnership between British Council Scotland, Creative Scotland and Festivals Edinburgh, bringing international cultural leaders to Edinburgh during the August festivals to build long-term relationships with Scotland's creative sector.
This year, four members of the delegates from Türkiye delegation are particularly interested in meeting Scotland-based designers with a view to future collaboration, practice sharing and international exchange.
Who will you meet?
The sessions will bring together designers with three members of the Momentum 2026 Türkiye delegation:
Emre Koyuncuoğlu
Istanbul Municipality Theatre / Contemporary Performing Arts Centre
Emre leads an artist development and R&D programme within Istanbul Municipality Theatre. She is particularly interested in practice sharing, workshops and different approaches to supporting artists and developing new work.
Buğra Akkemik
Zorlu Performing Arts Centre
Buğra works at one of Istanbul's largest performing arts venues and is interested in international co-production and meeting designers for potential future creative collaborations.
Duygu Bayram
Omnia Yapım Productions
Duygu is an independent producer, formerly with Zorlu Performing Arts Centre. She is interested in new work with the potential for adaptation for Turkish audiences, and in meeting potential creative collaborators.
Şevval Çakır
Şevval is the Performing Arts Programming Executive at Paribu Art in Istanbul. Paribu opened in September 2025 and has a focus on programming contemporary, interdisciplinary, and technology-driven work. Şevval is keen to meet potential creative collaborators and masterclass leaders.
About the sessions
Each designer will spend approximately 15–20 minutes in conversation with each delegate in a relaxed, rotating format.
These aren't interviews or pitching sessions. They're an opportunity to share your practice, learn about one another's work, ask questions and begin conversations that may lead to future collaborations.
If you don't have work showing during the festivals, we recommend bringing a laptop or tablet to share images of your work.
Participants will receive a £100 honorarium towards their time.
They are particularly keen to meet designers who:
● are mid-career or established
● have experience working at scale
● have experience working with new technologies in design
● are interested in international collaboration
● are available to attend one of the sessions in Edinburgh.
Designers with work showing in Edinburgh between 24–28 August, and/or experience designing text-based proscenium productions, are especially encouraged to apply.
Session Dates
Monday 24 August
12.00–1.00pm
Wednesday 26 August

Venue
Momentum Delegate Centre, Grassmarket Community Project, 86 Candlemaker Row, Edinburgh EH1 2QA

Theatre and Live Arts Records at Risk Project
We have recently been contacted by The University of Bristol Theatre Collection about a fund that has been awarded to them to facilitate a project to identify and rescue significant theatre and live art records.
The impact of the pandemic on the performing arts sector has been severe, and there is the possibility of collections being lost if action is not taken now to save records to preserve the cultural history and heritage of the industry.
They are looking to help individuals including but not limited to artists, backstage professionals, designers, directors, performers, photographers, practitioners, producers, and writers, as well as organisations which have been affected by the pandemic and need help with caring for their archives, both digital and analogue.
