İstanbul Modern engagement report
@istanbulmodern_ - 2.3M followers on X
Measured over 23 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 22, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 13 interactions against 2.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 23 original posts, its engagement rate beats 14% of 983 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 11K times each, and 0.123% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.458% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.87 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 23 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video, 9% are part of a thread and 22% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 60 interactions, about 4.6x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
İstanbul Modern's engagement rate beats 14% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (983 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 11% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.001%, İstanbul Modern sits below the 10th percentile of the 9,668 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.006%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 100% of posts | +79% | +73% to +84% | 5.7K |
| Outbound link | 22% of posts | -49% | -50% to -47% | 6.0K |
| Typical length | - | +12% | +10% to +15% | 6.3K |
- 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 79% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 22% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 49% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 1130 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 12% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

“Çarşafı duvara çivilerle gererdi. Evde eski sandıklardan, kenarları dantelli çarşafları çıkarırdı önce. Onlar bitince bu kez benim koltuklar için aldığım kılıf kumaşlarına yöneldi. Bir gün eve geldim, duvarda asılı duruyor.” —Zeliha Berksoy Semiha Berksoy’un dünyasında sahne ile ev, tuval ile çarşaf, sanat ile gündelik hayat arasındaki sınırlar geçirgendir. Çarşaf, perde ve yatak örtüsü gibi gündelik nesneler de bu anlayışın bir uzantısı olarak beden, hafıza ve aşkın taşıyıcılarına dönüşür. Semiha Berksoy’un çarşaf resimlerinin de aralarında bulunduğu 200'ü aşkın yapıtı bir araya getiren “Tüm Renklerin Aryası” sergisini, 6 Eylül'e kadar ziyaret edebilirsiniz. — “She would stretch the sheet on the wall with nails. She would begin by pulling out old sheets with lace edges from the trunks at home. When those ran out, she turned to the upholstery fabrics I had bought for my sofas. One day I came home, and it was hanging on the wall.” —Zeliha Berksoy In Semiha Berksoy's world, the boundaries between the stage and the home, the canvas and the cloth, art and everyday life are permeable. Everyday objects such as sheets, curtains, and bedspreads also turn into carriers of the body, memory, and love as an extension of this mindset. You can visit the exhibition "Aria of All Colors," which brings together over 200 works including Semiha Berksoy's cloth paintings, until September 6.

Semiha Berksoy’a ait bu yapıtın aslında bir buzdolabı kapağı olduğunu biliyor musunuz? Sanatçının evindeki bu sıra dışı yüzeyin üzerine resmettiği çalışma, Nazım Hikmet’in "Selma Muhtar" takma adıyla kaleme aldığı ve 1934’te Dârülbedâyi’nde sahnelenen “Bu Bir Rüyadır” operetinde başrol oynadığı Fatma karakterine odaklanıyor. "Bu Bir Rüyadır", UNESCO’nun 2002 yılını Nâzım Hikmet Yılı ilan edilmesiyle İstanbul Devlet Tiyatrosu tarafından yeniden sahnelendi ve Berksoy, 92 yaşındayken bu yeni prodüksiyonda da yer aldı. “Semiha Berksoy: Tüm Renklerin Aryası” sergisini 6 Eylül’e kadar ziyaret edebilirsiniz. — Did you know that this artwork by Semiha Berksoy is actually a refrigerator door? The work, painted on this unusual surface in the artist’s home, focuses on the character of Fatma, who played the lead role in the operetta “This Is a Dream,” written by Nazım Hikmet under the pen name “Selma Muhtar” and staged at Dârülbedâyi in 1934. “This Is a Dream” was restaged by the Istanbul State Theater after UNESCO declared 2002 the Year of Nazım Hikmet, and Berksoy appeared in this new production at the age of 92. You can visit the exhibition “Semiha Berksoy: Aria of All Colors” through September 6. Semiha Berksoy Bu Bir Rüyadır operetinden Fatma Fatma from the operetta This is a Dream 2002

“Oda, baştan sona onun sanatı ve eşyalarıyla doluydu. Tam ortada pirinç karyolası duruyor, yanında piyanosu yer alıyordu. [...] Kumaşlar, kendi tasarımları, mücevherler, rengârenk şapkalar, ışıltılı ayakkabılar, annesinden kalan Singer dikiş makinesi, bebekler, fincanlar ve kâğıtlar her yeri dolduruyordu.” – Sanatçı Elif Uras’ın “Semiha Berksoy: Tüm Renklerin Aryası” sergi kataloğunda yer alan yazısından. “Semiha Berksoy Odası”, sanatçının yaşamı, belleği ve üretimi arasındaki güçlü bağı görünür kılan kapsamlı bir yerleştirmedir. Berksoy’un sanatı yaşamından ayrı düşünmediği, onu varoluşunun ayrılmaz bir parçası olarak gördüğü bu odada belirginleşir. Berksoy, ölümünden bir yıl önce, 2003’te odasındaki tüm eşyaları Mimar Sinan Güzel Sanatlar Üniversitesi Resim ve Heykel Müzesi’ne bağışlayarak yaşamının ve sanatının en kapsamlı otoportrelerinden birini kamuyla paylaştı. Restorasyonu hâlen devam eden bu oda, yapıtları İstanbul Modern Koleksiyonu’nda yer alan Gülnur Sözmen’in 2000 yılında çektiği fotoğraflar aracılığıyla sergide izleyiciyle buluşuyor. “Semiha Berksoy: Tüm Renklerin Aryası” sergisini 6 Eylül’e kadar ziyaret edebilirsiniz. — “The room was filled with his art and belongings from floor to ceiling. The centerpiece was her brass bed, placed in the middle of the space, along with her piano. [...] Fabrics, jewelry, colorful hats, shimmering shoes, her inherited Singer sewing machine, dolls, cups, and papers all spoke of her internal world.” —From an essay by artist Elif Uras featured in the exhibition catalog *Semiha Berksoy: The Aria of All Colors* The “Semiha Berksoy Room” is a deeply personal installation that unites the artist’s life, memory, and artistic practice within a single, immersive environment. Here, Berksoy’s belief that art is a way of living becomes fully embodied. In 2003, just a year before her death, Berksoy donated her entire room to the Painting and Sculpture Museum of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, thereby transforming her greatest self-portrait into a public work. As part of this retrospective, we present the essence of this room, still under renovation, through photographs taken by our collection artist Gülnur Sözmen in 2000. You can visit the exhibition “Semiha Berksoy: Aria of All Colors” through September 6.

“Aynı Mavinin Altında” buluşmaya az kaldı. 💙 8 Eylül’de yeni koleksiyon sergimizin kapılarını aralıyoruz. İstanbul Modern’in onuncu koleksiyon sergisi "Aynı Mavinin Altında" Türkiye’den ve dünyanın farklı coğrafyalarından, farklı dönemlerde üretim yapan sanatçıların yapıtlarını tarihsel ve tematik eksenlerde bir araya getiriyor. Sürekli sergi salonu ile müzenin farklı katlarına yayılan seçki, Türkiye’de modern ve çağdaş sanatın 1940’lardan beri dönüşümünü izlerken, özellikle 2000’li yıllardan itibaren uluslararası sanatçıların yapıtlarıyla kurulan karşılaşmalar ve diyaloglar aracılığıyla koleksiyona dair yeni okuma olanakları sunuyor. Sergi adını, farklı zamanları ve deneyimleri birbirine bağlayan bir renkten alıyor. “Aynı Mavinin Altında”, maviyi; denizleri, ufukları, düşleri, özgürlüğü, mesafeleri ve yakınlaşmaları çağrıştıran bir renk ve fon olarak ele alıyor. 🔗 Detaylar: https://t.co/YtcSeoYkL5 — “Beneath the Same Blue” is just around the corner. 💙 On September 8, we’re opening the doors to our new collection exhibition. Istanbul Modern’s tenth collection exhibition, “Beneath the Same Blue” brings together works by artists from Türkiye and different parts of the world, produced across various periods and geographies, along historical and thematic axes. Spanning the museum’s permanent exhibition gallery and different floors of the museum, the selection traces the transformation of modern and contemporary art in Türkiye since the 1940s, while offering new ways of reading the collection through encounters and dialogues established with works by international artists, particularly from the 2000s onward. The exhibition takes its title from a color that connects various times, and experiences. “Beneath the Same Blue” approaches blue as both a color and a backdrop that evokes seas, horizons, dreams, freedom, distances, and affinities. 🔗 Details: https://t.co/66KuqkkAQa Görsel: Âbidin Elderoğlu Kompozisyon Composition 1969 Dr. Nejat F.

- What is İstanbul Modern's engagement rate on X?
- İstanbul Modern (@istanbulmodern_) has an engagement rate of 0.001%, based on the median interactions across 23 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,301,826 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.001%, İstanbul Modern sits below the 10th percentile of the 9,668 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @istanbulmodern_ have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 14% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (983 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @istanbulmodern_ post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.87 posts per day across the measured window.
