Zihinde açılan kapılar
Akaretler No: 35’te kapılarını açan Vision Art Platform’un ilk fiziki sergisi ‘No Room For A Door/ Kapıya Yer Yok’, mekânın amacına uygun olarak ‘kapı’ metaforunu ele alıyor. Mekânda tüm kapılar kalıcı olarak kaldırılmış, geçişlerin ve sınırların olmadığı bir mimari anlayış yaratılmış. Vision Art Platform kurucusu Hayrunnisa Taşyar, “Platform; mekân-sanat arasında yeni bir tür öneriyor. Buna yeni bir sanat ve kültür alanı diyebiliriz. Mekânın ruhunu yansıtan bir sergi hazırlamayı arzu ettik. İzleyicinin zihninde, onlar eşiklerden geçip giderken unuttukları, hatta kaybettikleri anıların canlanmasını istedik” diyor.

Consultant's Corner: A home of one’s own, Turkish style
For the first 1,277 days that I lived in Turkey, I lived on the second floor of the same building in which my in-laws lived four floors above. Generally, this was more problematic for everyone else than us. Well-meaning sympathizers would offer their condolences. But in fact, those first three and a half years were quite good. It was just our apartment we couldn’t tolerate.

Animated nightmare film ’Coraline’ dazzles
LOS ANGELES - Animated film 'Coraline' is wildly imaginative, distinctly detailed and painstakingly rendered. It has its silly moments, such as the performance of an elaborate rodent circus, and blessedly, the three-dimensional effects are only reach-out-and-grab-you gimmicky a few times

Conditions are harder for women in the varoş

My wife, Aydan, was talking on the phone with my daughter, while at the same time cooking our evening must, Turkish coffee...

Kurdish Turk commits suicide while in UK custody
Britain's asylum system is under heavy criticism again following the suicide of a Kurdish Turk who was being held in custody for months with no bail. Ramazan Camlica, 19, took his own life after being refused bail three times. Camlica was found hanging in his cell at Campsfield House in Oxfordshire, early on Monday. Apparently the detainee had been at the centre so long, approximately 5 - 7 months, that he was awarded his own room, which gave him opportunity to hang himself from the hinge of the door. this period of detention is not usual said Kurdish community leaders living in the UK as only those facing imminent deportation are supposed to be detained.
