March 8, 2020: A Memoir, a desktop documentary that ventures into what the "Touristic Cameras" overlooking Taksim Square leave in the dark during the Feminist Night March. We watch Istanbul through the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality's cameras that broadcast live 24/7. A child playing with a red balloon, young people dancing in the streets, people taking souvenir photos, the Maiden's Tower, the Grand Bazaar... But do the Touristic Cameras also see the Feminist Night March? March 8, 2020: A Memoir, through screenshots, journeys through time to capture the memory of the last mass action in Istanbul before the pandemic.
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!
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
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.
