Bedriye Berber Engin, who lives in the Kurşunlu village of Bilecik, changed the lives of many women living in the village with herself. Bedriye's adventure of reading books, which started at a young age, took her to meet eco-tourism. The dream that started in the book came true. Bedriye not only introduced her village to the world, but also initiated reverse migration from the city to the village, created income for the women living in the village and contributed to the development of the village. Now, this village welcomes its guests from many cities such as Istanbul, Ankara, Eskisehir and even from abroad every weekend. Women living in the village cook from the products they produce, organize workshops in their gardens and introduce local flavors to local and foreign tourists. We watch the story of Bedriye and the other 3 women living in the village in this movie.
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.
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.
Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
