The documentary starts with the story of Konca Kuriş, Turkey’s first Muslim feminist who was kidnapped and murdered by the Kurdish Hezbollah because her women-centric reading of Islam was viewed as radical. It displays the story of Muslim women’s becoming feminists since the 1990s and the recent rise of Islamic feminism with narration by eleven Muslim feminists. These Muslim feminists explain the impact of the headscarf ban in Turkey on the development of Islamic feminism, the challenges Muslim women face within the feminist movement, the influence of men-centric interpretations of Islam on women’s lives, and women’s search for alternative interpretations. The story ends with the participation of Muslim feminists in the events on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
