With the end of the "Peace Process" in 2015, I witnessed the clash between the PKK and the Government forces in the Sur district of Diyarbakır. I was a freelance journalist at that time, witnessing this terrible event caused me trauma. Years later, I turned these images in my archive into a documentary. I prepared this documentary by thinking about the witness, migration and city memory. After these images, the Sur district was destroyed, now absurd houses are being built, instead of the destroyed houses.
Published as part of Pera Learning programs, “The Little Yellow Circle (Küçük Sarı Daire)” is a children’s book written by Tania Bahar and illustrated by Marina Rico, offering children and adults to a novel learning experience where they can share and discover together.
Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
