Pera Film presents the Pride Month program i'm not afraid of anything, emphasizing the importance of individual identities and the richness of living beyond norms.
i'm not afraid of anything, which follows the stories of characters progressing fearlessly on their unique journeys, brings together two cult films that have become iconic with their inspiring stories, unforgettable music, mesmerizing stage performances, and dazzling costumes and makeup, connecting queer culture with mainstream cinema for a wider audience.
The program, held in the Pera Museum Auditorium from June 28 to July 10, features The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert celebrating its 30th anniversary. This film follows three drag queens' colorful and entertaining adventures in the Australian desert. Meanwhile, John Cameron Mitchell's Hedwig and the Angry Inch portrays the compelling journey of Hedwig, who emigrates from Germany to the USA with dreams of becoming a rock star during the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Film screenings within this program are accessible with a discounted museum entrance ticket. Tickets can be purchased from Biletix or the reception of Pera Museum. Per legal regulations, all screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age unless stated otherwise.

When we examine the Ottoman-themed paintings of indoor everyday life by western painters, musical entertainment attracts attention as a fundamental aspect of the lifestyle.
Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz discovered the Orient in 1877, touring Syria, Egypt, Turkey, and the Crimea with Władysław Branicki. This experience made a profound impression on him, and he was to continuously revisit Eastern themes in his works for the rest of his life.
While Paula Rego belatedly was recognised as one of the leading feminist pioneers of her age, little has been written about her exploration of fluid sexuality. Indeed the current of sado-masochism in her drawings and paintings, has tended to encourage an understanding as a classic clash between the patriarchy and exploited women.
