“The Network” is the story of Afghanistan’s first
independent television network – TOLO TV – and the family behind it. Launched in
2004, TOLO TV has grown to be Afghanistan’s largest and most successful
television network employing over 800 Afghans, producing news, current affairs,
drama, comedy, music, and lifestyle programs. But as the country faces the
impending withdrawal of foreign troops, and with security rapidly deteriorating,
the film questions what does the future hold for TOLO TV and their employees,
many of whom are women.

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. Through the biennial, we will be sharing detailed information about the artists and the artworks.
The exhibition “Look At Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection” examined portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Paintings, photographs, sculptures and videos shaped a labyrinth of gazes that invite spectators to reflect themselves in the social mirror of portraits.
