The documentary, which films the changes that trans man Jack (Jack Celeste) undergoes over the course of five years when he started the gender transition process in 2016, also records the increasing conservatism in Brazil during the process. Jointly directed by Coraci Ruiz and Julia Matos, the film shows glimpses from Jack's life, showing how to blossom through the cracks of concrete. The film, which gives its audience hope to hold on in dark times, signals the glitches of the cis-tem as well. The documentary, which has been screened at many queer film festivals from Brazil to France, from Peru to Canada, portrays not only of its main character, but also of its country.
Although mythological themes are not commonly encountered in Turkish painting, it is possible to see variations of widespread themes such as the Venus at her Toilet.
Pera Museum, in collaboration with Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), is one of the main venues for this year’s 15th Istanbul Biennial from 16 September to 12 November 2017.
Mario Prassinos liked Istanbul more than the current Istanbulites of today. It is obvious that you can understand this from the article written by her daughter Catherine Prassinos in the Pera Museum's book on the artist.
