First director who told a story on the screen, the ones who paid prices during silent years, pioneers of controversial films, first editor of screen credits… They were all women. The film revealing the history of the condoned existence of women who wrote herstory on reels, and their pioneering and production, convey a feminist herstory onto the screen, with images from archives and interviews. And also calls for a restoration of honour, and asks everyone to stand in silence for these women who have written herstory on reels…
Pera Museum, in collaboration with Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), is one of the main venues for this year’s 15th Istanbul Biennial from 16 September to 12 November 2017.
How can the future be imagined by looking at a collection or an archive? The lasting quality of ceramics allows us to ponder how the future might be remembered through a ceramics collection, since they render conceivable time eternal.
Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.
