Feeding the River: 20 Years of Anadolu Kültür

Director: Mert Kaya
Türkiye, 2024, 66', DCP, color
Turkish with English subtitles 

Could a table set amid archival records that have been piling up since 2002 serve as a space for memory exchange, a place where the archive and experiences meet? Those who have worked for Anadolu Kültür, an organization which brings culture, arts, and civil society together in many cities around Turkey, tell us what it has achieved in 20 years. Feeding the River is an attempt to contemplate on how Turkey’s distressing issues can be addressed through arts and to rethink the significance of “keeping up against all odds” within the country’s social and political context from an “insider” perspective.

The crew will attend.

Good News from the Skies

Good News from the Skies

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.
