When Krisha walks in to the family house for a Thanksgiving dinner, the atmosphere is tense despite the warm greetings. Krisha is also anxious, almost frightened. She has obviously been absent from family gatherings for a while, but upon revealing her sobriety, has been given a second chance. In Krisha, Trey Edward Shults brings together his immediate family and treats addiction –always an elephant in the room, he says– with audacity and heartbreaking humor. With inspired camerawork, sound design, editing, and natural acting, Krisha introduces us to a family of no nonsense storytellers, telling a very intimate story close to home.

From two portraits of children…

The Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation’s Orientalist Painting Collection includes two children’s portraits that are often featured in exhibitions on the second floor of the Pera Museum. These portraits both date back to the early 20th century, and were made four years apart. One depicts Prince Abdürrahim Efendi, son of Sultan Abdulhamid II, while the figure portrayed on the other is Nazlı, the daughter of Osman Hamdi Bey.

In his book exploring the cultural history of souvenirs, Rolf Potts discusses how such objects assume meaning through personal stories: Objects turn into memories with the stories they hold.
