In this workshop, inspired by the multi-layered structure of the Istanbuls Today exhibition, which brings together contemporary visual narratives from different Istanbuls, the participants set out from photographs selected from the exhibition and construct the story of a city through various creative writing techniques. Participants build a story through three visuals/objects that inspire the introduction-body-conclusion components. Then, they become a part of this collective narrative by collaborating on the storylines together.

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.
