The film tells the story of Hansel Schmidt, growing up in a dysfunctional family in East Germany and dreams of becoming a rock star. As searching for a way out, Hansel meets and falls in love with an American soldier named Luther. To legally marry and move to the United States, Hansel’s fiancé and mother force them to undergo gender reassignment surgery, becoming Hedwig. While trying to find their sexual identity, Hedwig discovers the art of drag as a means of survival and ultimately undergoes another transformation, accepting themself as they are.
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.
Selected from the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Photography Collection, we present the landscapes and places in Istanbul photographs, dating from the 1850s to the 1980s, together with their present-day views!
Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
