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.

Inspired by the exhibition Istanbuls Today, Today's Stories series starts with Pelin Buzluk's story "Coal"! TThis series gathers short stories written by authors encouraged by the photographs in the exhibition.
When we examine the Ottoman-themed paintings of indoor everyday life by western painters, musical entertainment attracts attention as a fundamental aspect of the lifestyle.
The war fought by the Greeks to shake off the Turkish yoke was closely observed around Europe and, this being the era of romanticism, the events taking place around Greece between 1821 and 1832 became a symbol for national liberation struggle.
