Why Istanbul Belongs to Its Cats
Our first story is on its way: how a whole city came to belong to its cats.
Coming soonHow we make them
Three promises in every episode
True
Every fact traces to a source. When historians disagree, or nobody knows, we say so out loud.
Painted like a film
Layered paintings with a camera moving through them. We use AI-assisted painting and narration tools, directed, edited and fact-checked by people.
Told with respect
We are outsiders, and curious ones. If it's your country and we missed something, tell us. We'd rather be corrected than wrong.
