The film, considered a milestone in Greek documentary film history, observes the evolution and lives of the Roma in Europe through the perspectives of four different individuals. The teacher delves deeply into their roots; the photographer documents the current reality of a community that lacks a written tradition or an official history through photographs. The elderly woman Tamara revives a collective memory through the stories and ancient tales she narrates; while the young Aima offers another perspective from the viewpoint of the new generation, exploring the future and the quest for identity. The film, a daring attempt in its theme and style, caused significant astonishment at the time and was prohibited from being broadcast on state television.
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.
When regarding the paintings of Istanbul by western painters, Golden Horn has a distinctive place and value. This body of water that separates the Topkapı Palace and the Historical Peninsula, in which monumental edifices are located, from Galata, where westerners and foreign embassies dwell, is as though an interpenetrating boundary.
The various states of viewing nudity entered the Ottoman world on postcards before paintings. These postcards appeared in the 1890s, and became widespread in the 1910s, following the proclamation of the Second Constitutional Monarchy, traveling from hand to hand, city to city.
