The Çanakkale Biennial Initiative (CABININ), which has been conducting international contemporary art activities since 2008 with its civil solidarity and production network, has given Çanakkale a new and alternative art space: MAHAL opened its doors on 2 November 2013.

CABININ organizes national and international events based on social benefit and responsibility as a platform of thought and action on art, culture and has been carrying out these activities at MAHAL since November 2013. This old oak nut warehouse located on the banks of the Çay Quarter near Sarıçay was restored by Penso family in 2011 in memory of Fortüne and İsak Kumru. Following this restoration that revives the cultural heritage of the city, the warehouse, which offers a unique indoor space for art activities with its architecture, joined the cultural and artistic life of Çanakkale under the name of MAHAL.

MAHAL is a multi-purpose centre, an open space, and a network hub for the production and implementation of CABININ activities as well as international projects in different disciplines of art, civil society activities and non-profit original project.
