Turkish with English subtitle
We’re used to seeing stray dogs in our neighbourhoods. About their living conditions, we only know what we see. Today, hundreds of thousands of stray dogs in Turkey are struggling for their lives under harsh conditions. Only few are able to survive and that is thanks to extraordinary efforts of animal lovers. It is sad that their future depends on human beings. Whatever we choose to do or not to do, that will be it for them.
In 1493, exactly 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was finishing the preparations for casting the equestrian monument (4 times life size), which Ludovico il Moro, Duke of Milan commissioned in memory of his father some 12 years earlier.
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.
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.
