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 its Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection, Pera Museum presents a contemporary video installation titled For All the Time, for All the Sad Stones at the gallery that hosts the Collection. The installation by the artist Nicola Lorini takes its starting point from recent events, in particular the calculation of the hypothetical mass of the Internet and the weight lost by the model of the kilogram and its consequent redefinition, and traces a non-linear voyage through the Collection.
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.
Ali Sami is born in Rusçuk in 1866, and moves to İstanbul. Because his family is registered in the Beylerbeyi quarter of Üsküdar, Ali Sami is also called Üsküdarlı Ali Sami. He graduates from the Mühendishane-i Berri-i Hümayun in 1866 and becomes a teacher of painting and photography at the school.
