This film reflects the miniatures of the medieval Azerbaijan game Chovkan, which is a national sport and antecedent of polo. The participants pass on the skills of the game for future generations and the film focuses on about the emerging relationship between a shepherd Jafar from Agdam and his horse Baygurt.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Pera Museum invites artist Benoît Hamet to reinterpret key pieces from its collections, casting a humorous eye over ‘historical’ events, both imagined and factual.
In this piece, Żmurko presents an exotic image of a harem chamber, replete with gleaming fabrics and scattered jewels, as a setting for the statuesquely beautiful body of an odalisque murdered “at the order of the padishah”.
Pera Museum’s Instagram account was taken over by “This is Not A Love Song” exhibition’s project managers Fatma Çolakoğlu and Ulya Soley!
