CALL EARTH “HOME”…

   The “home” exhibition was conceived as an interdisciplinary meeting space; It has become a traveling exhibition based in Berlin and Istanbul, supported by open lectures, artist talks and interactive performance works. While considering “home” at the conceptual level as an interpretation of the world, body, city, and art; with a behavioral and practical approach, it is aimed to bring identities, objects, issues, and rituals together in the most ordinary way in the concept of “home”, to capture a meaning that multiplies from home to homes.

   Home, from the universal to the particular; while working on the themes of ecology, history, etymology, architecture, family, and the body, he considers local/global, settled/homeless, inside/outside, local/immigrant, and safe/insecure. The exhibition aims to capture a collective narrative; it tries to suggest new ways of life with critical representations of domestic and everyday behavior patterns while enabling us to establish relationships between different sources and perspectives. In this direction; While many ossified passive structures are being handled, the social expression of personal experiences and collective memory come to the fore. The dynamics, occupations, operations, and destruction shaped around the hegemonic power axis are the subject of the exhibition as an undeniable part of this memory.

   The curatorial approach prioritizes witnessing and experiencing the space in line with the home theme and includes works that have site-specific qualities and establish spatial relationships. As an extension of this approach; After the space-human relationship is suspended during the pandemic process, a new perspective is designed around the concepts of trust, comfort, uncanny, alienation, and togetherness.

   Combining archival and fictional works, the exhibition tries to discuss centrifugation, environmental control, borders, and ecological issues with a focus on Istanbul; With both documentation and performative works, she also deals with “home” in terms of the queer settlement, appointed/elected family, organization, women’s status and domestic demographics.

    “Home” invites all integrating and diverging subjects to build a collective home with an inclusive approach and an experiential art practice.
