Gümüşgöze, formerly known as Yakto, is a neighborhood in Harbiye, outside the center of Defne, where people mostly live in low-rise houses located in small gardens. Like many parts of the city, Gümüşgöze was seriously affected by the February 6 Earthquakes. With lives lost, houses destroyed, ties broken, daily life itself has become a "coping process"... In the post-earthquake days, when the support from the municipality and the government oscillates between absence and inadequacy, the people of Gümüşgöze in Hatay blend the solidarity practices they received from history and culture with what they have learned today and try to chart their own path.
Yakto Cannot Be Abandoned! tries to witness this process by knowing and seeing why people want to stay in Gümüşgöze despite all this poverty.
Published as part of Pera Learning programs, “The Little Yellow Circle (Küçük Sarı Daire)” is a children’s book written by Tania Bahar and illustrated by Marina Rico, offering children and adults to a novel learning experience where they can share and discover together.
As the New Year approaches, Pera Film presents an alternative watchlist of 10 movies, ranging from Hollywood's timeless classics to memorable examples of modern cinema.
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.
