Talk
June 2, 2022 / 18.30
Pera Museum presents a series of talks related to the And Now the Good News exhibition, which focuses on the relationship between mass media and art. The exhibition takes the newspaper as an intellectual starting point and focuses on the relationship between text and news, the ways in which the invention of photography have shaped society, and the powerful effect totalitarian systems have on mass media. At this talk, Evren Savcı, Assistant Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Yale University and Osman Erden, Assistant Professor in the Art History Department at Mimar Sinan University will discuss how concepts such as gender, religion and ethnicity are projected in the media and in art, using the “The War of Genders, The Clash of Cultures” section of the exhibition to launch the discussion. Evren Savcı also has an article featured in the And Now the Good News newspaper, titled “The Thing We Call Culture”.
Free admissions, drop-in. This event will take place in the auditorium. The talk will be in Turkish.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Pera Museum invites artist Benoît Hamet to reinterpret key pieces from its collections, casting a humorous eye over ‘historical’ events, both imagined and factual.
“The portrait tells us that there is an inner and an outer dimension of the human condition; it provides—or should provide—information about both the physical and psychological character of an individual.”
