Boyhood friends from Midland, Texas are
arrested on terrorism charges at the 2008 Republican National Convention. Better
This World follows the journey of David McKay (22) and Bradley Crowder (23) from
political neophytes to accused domestic terrorists with a particular focus on
the relationship they develop with a radical activist mentor in the six months
leading up to the convention. A dramatic story of idealism, loyalty, crime and
betrayal, BETTER THIS WORLD goes to the heart of the War on Terror and its
impact on civil liberties and political dissent in post-9/11 America.

Organized in collaboration with the Giacometti Foundation, Paris, the exhibition explores Giacometti’s prolific life, most of which the artist led in his studio in Montparnasse, through the works of his early period as well his late work, including one unfinished piece. Devoted to Giacometti’s early works, the first part of the exhibition demonstrates the influence of Giovanni Giacometti, the father of the artist and a Swiss Post-Impressionist painter himself, on Giacometti’s output during these years and his role in his son’s development.
Following the opening of his studio, “El Chark Societe Photographic,” on Beyoğlu’s Postacılar Caddesi in 1857, the Levantine-descent Pascal Sébah moves to yet another studio next to the Russian Embassy in 1860 with a Frenchman named A. Laroche, who, apart from having worked in Paris previously, is also quite familiar with photographic techniques.
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.
