The workshop is inspired by PƎRⱯ Reverse and the work Masking, urban transformations, which refers to the historical buildings under renovation that are frequently encountered in the city, covered with a masking fabric. In the workshop led by artist Deniz Kulaksızoğlu, the participants rethink Istanbul as a place of constant destruction, transformation and reconstruction, with a focus on global capitalist relations. Then, the participants paint an element (this element can be a building, a space, a memory, a person, a dream, a thought, etc.) that has an important place in their past but is no longer the same or that they wish to change in two layers, first with the existing version and then with the version they imagine. These elements undergoing a kind of “intellectual renovation” are photographed and transferred onto the surface of cardboard coffee cups, which also appear in the exhibition. Thus, the process of transforming artistic, cultural and historical values into commercial objects or souvenirs is imitated.

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.
