Pera Film's annual I'm Here! film program, initiated in observance of World AIDS Day, this year hosts the screenings of the video collection Everyone I Know is Sick, curated by the contemporary art organization Visual AIDS.
Everyone I Know is Sick presents a selection of five videos by artists working around the world who make connections between HIV and other forms of illness and disability. Inspired by a statement in Cyrée Jarelle Johnson's book “Black Futures”, Everyone I Know Is Sick examines how our society excludes disabled and sick people through a false health-disease dichotomy. The program inviting us to understand disability as a shared experience rather than an exception to the norm highlights a range of experiences spanning HIV, COVID, mental health, and aging.
This program’s screenings are free admission. Drop in, no reservations. As per legal regulations, all our screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age, unless stated otherwise.

A firm believer in the idea that a collection needs to be upheld at least by four generations and comparing this continuity to a relay race, Nahit Kabakcı began creating the Huma Kabakcı Collection from the 1980s onwards. Today, the collection can be considered one of the most important and outstanding examples among the rare, consciously created, and long-lasting ones of its kind in Turkey.
When Karl XII of Sweden was defeated by Tsar Peter the Great of Russia in 1709, he fled to the Ottoman Empire and settled in Bender with his entourage for five years.
It was a quiet night in the dessert. Even the mice weren’t around. A few LEDs blinked in the dark, and the sound of a fan filled the infinite void. The conversation cutting the silence seemed to go nowhere.
