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.
Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
Pera Museum’s Cold Front from the Balkans exhibition curated by Ali Akay and Alenka Gregorič brings together contemporary artists from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.
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.
