Adapted from Anna Seghers' 1942 novel of the same name, Transit follows a group of refugees trying to escape Nazi-occupied France. Seeking refuge in Marseille and taking on the identity of a deceased writer, Georg attempts to gather the necessary documents to pass into North America. In this process, he crosses path with Marie, the wife of the writer whose identity he has stolen. This situation leads Georg to deeply question his identity, past, and future.
Blurring the perception of time and space, Transit establishes connections between a city's past and modern times, while Marseille is an in-between zone where refugees and displaced people struggle with uncertainties. In the story, the city symbolizes both the escape and the hope for a new life and a labyrinthine trap filled with the threat of being caught at any moment.
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.
