Jay Height, a 19-year-old woman, leads an ordinary life until a romantic date with Hugh, a man she recently met, becomes a nightmare. Hugh passes a curse onto Jay through sexual contact, marking her as the target of a relentless supernatural entity. This being follows her step by step and will kill her if it catches up. The only way for Jay to survive is to pass the curse on to someone else. With the help of her friends, she devises a plan to stay alive. However, the curse is permanently closing in, forcing Jay to live in constant fear, unsure of whom to trust.

It Follows weaves a narrative rich in metaphors, exploring themes such as paranoia, safety, and the loss of youth's innocence, all while maintaining an ever-growing sense of tension. By reinterpreting classic slasher horror elements from a fresh perspective, the film has earned recognition as one of the most significant thrillers of the 2000s.

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

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.

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.
